unusual facts about Bromance: My Brother's Romance


Bromance: My Brother's Romance

Bromance: My Brother's Romance landed on No. 2 on its opening weekend beaten by Star Trek Into Darkness on a small margin.


Algie's Romance

The film was shot on a cattle station owned by the Downer family in South Australia, near the Mount Lofty Ranges.

Florence, Arizona

The oldest functioning Arizona State Prison complex, the Florence complex, is located in the town, and its preserved Main Street and open desert scenery was the setting of the major motion picture Murphy's Romance.

Harriet Frank, Jr.

Frank and Ravetch maintained a close working relationship with director Martin Ritt throughout their career, collaborating with him on eight occasions; after initially being suggested by Ravetch to direct The Long, Hot Summer (1958), Ritt would eventually draw the couple out of inactivity on three occasions, hiring them to write the screenplays for Norma Rae (1979), Murphy's Romance (1985) and Stanley & Iris (1990).

Murphy's Romance

Sally Field and director Martin Ritt had to fight Columbia Pictures in order to cast Garner, who was viewed at that point as primarily a television actor despite having enjoyed a flourishing film career in the 1960s (and more recently having co-starred in the box office hit Victor/Victoria opposite Julie Andrews two years earlier).

But because of the success of Norma Rae (1979), with the same star (Field), director, and screenplay writing team (Harriet Frank, Jr. and Irving Ravetch), and with Field's new production company (Fogwood Films) producing, Columbia agreed.

Filming took place on location in Florence, Arizona and the town's preserved Main Street appears throughout the movie.

Supporting Characters

"Supporting Characters -- Part bromance, part ode to '70s comedies like Modern Romance, director Daniel Schechter has a witty sense of humor that's delivered perfectly by leads Alex Karpovsky and Tarik Lowe. Its honest and smart look at relationships and friendship inside the bubble of NYC would work as a perfect double-feature with Lena Dunham's Tiny Furniture (who also makes a cameo in Characters)." -- Jason Guerrasio

To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With

Writer/director Kevin Smith said that this was one of his favorite comedy albums on the Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder DVD.

Many years later he would host Kids Say the Darndest Things where he'd get children to talk about their childhood.

To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With is the sixth comedy album by Bill Cosby, and his eighth album overall.
