Actually one was a very good rodeo rider (note the huge belt buckle) and it is hinted that the other dabbled in it for a while.

I think that this was the point of the film-- It may have been hyped as a movie about gay cowboys, but in reality, the movie was not about the two men being gay.  The idea was to take a cliche, and tweak it a bit, and show how nothing really changes by changing that one thing.  WHat I'm trying to say is that I'm glad you had this reaction, it just proves that the movie was successful in its goal...

Schmendrick:
I believe that in many ways I found it went against the cliche'd love story. For instance they never once said 'I love you' in the movie. There was never any tender love scenes and instead of everyone ending up happy and joyful it does not only end sorrowfully, but in many aspects all of the characters in the film are unfulfilled.
Also the story between Jack and Ennis and their wives is also very interesting and the story between Ennis and his children.
As much as I have heard numerous times that this is nothing but a chick flick I have to say that I think that is what it seems like on the service, but you have to look at the supporting characters as well.

missscenester:
Cliche? I don't think it was at all cliche. There's no happng ending, no passionate kisses with a sunset.

What I liked about this movie was the realism, nothing was candy coated. You need to see a movie that grounds you like that sometimes. It doesn't matter if they are gay or heterosexual, thhe message is the same. the characters are products of their enviroments and that is what made them so real.

dusktodarkness:
I'm sure it wasn't intended to be, but this film ended up being one of the greatest comedies I have ever seen.
The only film I think I laughed harder at was SAW III and that's because I'm a morbid bastard.
But back to Brokebutt Mounted --err, I mean mean Enlarged--- god dammit.

Anyway. Almost every scene that involved the main characters I found hilarious. I loved how they totally were like, "I ain't queer" and then they just jump on each other in an embrace of love. Some serious cowboy-lovin'. But these boys weren't about cows at all. It was sheep. And cock... and balls.

What startled me though was when we got to to see that chick's boobies. The one from Princess Diaries and that other terrible film... the Devil Wears PITA or something.. Meryl Streep kept that film from bombing, I swear. Awful writing.. gah! This post is about.. you know! So yeah. That part caught me off guard. I did not expect that film to turn me on at any level of its production. Something about Jack Twist and that hot chick's boobs.. He definitely wasn't queer. Ennis on the other hand. He got bored of his wife's wazoo and went about putting it in her butthole.. That was utterly gut-busting. It was a little embarrassing. I mean, surely there were some homosexuals in there making out and probably even masturbating at points.. But me, the potentially heterosexual, who found something kinky about a non-queer cowboy who takes it up the ass, giving it to a former princess.. was laughing his ass off in the middle of the theatre throughout the film.

What a night. I was with a gay friend of mine too. He got really emotional on the way home. Something about it being impossibly difficult for gays to find true love... kind of a buzz-kill, but we got some Del Taco and he cheered up when one of my Jew friends joined us, who my gay friend is attracted to.

I've only seen it once.. but honestly, I don't know how many times I could watch Heath spit in his hand to lube up before the big plunge.
