* ''Film/TwentyOneJumpStreet'' has a number of bromantic moments, such as Schmidt asking his partner Jenko to prom (as part of their undercover work) and Jenko climbing all over Schmidt in bed. Though they start as high school enemies, by the end it has become a full-on bromance.
** ''Film/TwentyTwoJumpStreet'' extremely ups the ante for the Jenko/Schmidt bromance, with HoYay out the wazoo, Schmidt and Jenko having a counseling session together, and Schmidt becoming distraught when Jenko states that they need to "investigate other people."

* Though some versions of ''TheProducers'' have a romantic subplot between Leo and Ulla, the main story of all versions is about how Leo Bloom and Max Bialystock came to be HeterosexualLifePartners (in crime) on Broadway. Near the end, it even has Leo testifying in court to what a great friend Max has been to him.

* ''Film/HotFuzz'' fits the bill rather well. Amusingly, most of this owes itself to the fact that Angel was meant to have a love interest named Victoria, but after she was cut, most of her lines were given to Danny with surprisingly ''few'' changes.

At the intersection of the {{buddy picture}} and [[RomanticComedy romantic comedies]] lies the ''bro''mantic comedy. In this case, however, both leads will be male and the relationship pursued will be strictly platonic, possibly diving headlong into [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday "no homo"]] territory. Also unlike its romantic counterpart, a true Brom-Com is decidedly ''not'' a ChickFlick.

Distinguishing between this trope and the buddy picture is a little more complicated, but a preliminary way to mark the difference is that a pure bromantic comedy would not center around, for example, unlikely allies coming together to overcome adversity. Rather, the plot of a Bro-Com is specifically driven by the relationship between the characters themselves, much like a regular RomCom. Naturally, [[HappyEnding if things work out well]], the story culminates in a (more or less) straightforward [[HeterosexualLifePartners bromance]].
