Reception
The film has a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on five reviews.

Brittany Witherspoon of Screen Rant awarded the film two stars out of five and wrote, "There’s an enormous effort to entertain, but Bromates runs out of ideas faster than it can provide organic laughs."

Julian Roman of MovieWeb gave the film a negative review and wrote, "The film is actually funny with several stand-out scenes. The ensemble cast of famous comedians keep the laughs flowing. The problem is that Bromates runs out of narrative steam. It's more like a collection of skits than a cohesive story."
