SmallFox 1 This movie doesn't deserve a five star at all, as that would imply that the movie is half decent. And to all the people who like this movie, you all need to be lobotomized, Now let's talk about this film.Bruno has aggravatingly painful jokes because their the kind of jokes that CAN be funny but, the movie does it 100% wrong. It's like watching someone trying to be funny while being the most socially awkward person ever, who also has down's syndrome. it's just uncomfortable and embarrassing for everyone who has to watch this. And by the very end, it just feels like to movie is giving one giant middle finger to its viewers, and for what? Why does this movie have to be too vulgar? This movie isn't worth the dirt that you'd find under dog poo . Don't waste your time or money on this.

Python Hyena Bruno (2009): Dir: Larry Charles / Cast: Sacha Baron Cohen, Gustaf Hammarsten, Clifford Banagale, Paula Abdul, Michelle McLaren: Explicit and vulgar comedy about a flamboyant Austrian fashion celebrity who decides to seek fame in America. It opens well but structure is divided into numerous situations that play off as gross skits as oppose to further the story. Director Larry Charles and star Sacha Baron Cohen both collaborated on the superior Borat and are again aided by fine locations. The story structure is a near replica of Borat as the disoriented hero travels to unfamiliar land where his lifestyle is met with scorn. Cohen plays Bruno whose homosexuality betrays his judgement. In Australia he seemed on top of his game but in America he is at the mercy of his own ignorance. Gustaf Hammarsten plays his gay lover and personal assistant. He will remind viewers of Borat's companion only instead of naked wrestling in a hotel room, it is blatant sexual wrestling in front of the whole world. Clifford Banagale as Bruno's ex lover could have been broader. There are also numerous effective cameos most notably Paula Abdul whose appearance has her faced with a guy wheeled out with sushi covering his naked body. Michelle McLaren plays a dominatrix, and Gary Williams plays a spiritualist. This film mocks celebrity but it isn't for the squeamish. Score: 6 / 10

spectormyazaki Bruno is another one of those mockumentaries from the same people that did Borat. This time with a homosexual Austrian model. In my opinion, way better than Borat and made me laugh quite a few times. Despite the low score, I highly suggest you at least give it a try. It's very much one of those love-hate kind of movies. Most, if not all, of the scenes in this movie contain real reactions from real people, which makes the movie even funnier than the weird storyline already is.The acting was superb and very convincing. Sacha Baron Cohen is such a funny guy and brilliantly plays Bruno in this movie. Hope to see more like this, Borat and The Dictator soon!

arfdawg-1 Cohen is a funny guy as Borat.Bruno is the weakest of his characters.There is a reason this movie was not a hit. It's not good.A great bit of it appears phony. Lots more is just silly in its effort to top Borat.The only interest thing in this movie are the interviews with the shallow fashionistas.But the use of adding sound effects that weren't there originally (crowd booing for example) is just all too apparent, and serves to let you know that this film is just a scam.I get the feeling that the great reviews here on IMDb are all from gay men who can't see beyond he flamboyant theme.Any normal person will find the movie a bore.The Plot.Brüno is a gay Austrian fashion guru. He has his own fashion based television show, Funkyzeit, the most popular German-language show of its kind outside of Germany. After he disgraces himself in front of his Funkyzeit fan base, he is ruined in German speaking Europe. He decides that in his quest for worldwide fame, he will move to Los Angeles and reinvent himself. Accompanying him to the US is Lutz, his former assistant's assistant. Lutz is the only person left in his circle that still believes in Brüno's greatness. Brüno goes through one reinvention of himself after another, ultimately straying to areas far removed from his own self. Perhaps when Brüno finds an activity that he truly does love, he will also find that über-fame he so desperately desires.
