Those who love the high-pitchedBernadetteonThe Big Bang Theoryare going to get a whole heaping helping of her antics this spring when starMelissa Rauchtakes the lead in theraunchynew comedyThe Bronze. The film served as the opening night movie for this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and some have called it a laugh riot. The first trailer has arrived, which also features a strong ensemble that includesGary Cole,Thomas MiddleditchandCecily Strong.
Acclaimed short filmmaker Bryan Buckley directs this tale of a flawed female antihero. The movie has been compared to the hit HBO seriesEastbound & Down, with Melissa Rauch starring as a once promising gymnast who has seen better days. She has no job, she still lives at home and she is firmly stuck in the past. But that’s all about to change for the once Olympic hopeful named Hope Ann Greggory.
The Bronze is full of foul mouthedzingers, which is why we’re getting a red band trailer. And it is most notable for a hilarious sex scene that had critics in stitches this past January. It is a wild, insane ride, and it should hit well withcomedy fanswhen it arrives in theaters just in time for spring break. Here’s the official synopsis.
“In 2004, Hope Ann Greggory became an American hero after winning the bronze medal for the women’s gymnastics team. Today, she’s still living in her small hometown,washed-upand embittered. Stuck in the past, Hope must reassess her life when a promising young gymnast threatens her local celebrity status.”
The Bronze opens in theaters June 24, 2025. Fans ofThe Big Bang Theorywill surely enjoy seeing Melissa Rauch become the main center of attention. Check out the first footage for this sure-to-be classic in the sports comedy genre. Then be sure to mark your calendars. This is not a movie you want to miss! (Or maybe it is, you might have better tastes than me.)
