>November 3rd, 2006. Nobody knew what to expect from Sacha Baron Cohen's latest comedy in which he traveled the US as one of his characters Borat. Its reaction was positive and helped it go on to make 100 million dollars in the box office.
That was so 2006...Now here is Bruno.
While watching Bruno you will figure out quick that they are going to do whatever it takes to show that Bruno is a homosexual. Even if it means showing a five minutes sex scene in the beginning with his boyfriend. This is where you know this film is going to be an awkward film to watch.
The story is pretty basic, Bruno decides to come to America and try and become a Hollywood star. He tries about everything including making a pilot for a television show to trying to get kidnapped by terrorists. And yes I said kidnapped by terrorists.
You will notice a lot less interviews in Bruno compared to Borat. Instead Bruno focuses more on shock humor and putting people on the spot which makes the movie really funny.
One of the main problems with this film, as a guy, is I really have no intention to watch it again. While I came into the film expecting to see a couple dicks and maybe a lead up to a gay sex scene, what I got was way to much then what I thought I was going to get. I felt this movie to be too much, and that is a major problem. Maybe I should have expected that, but I didn't. And since it was too much, I really don't care if I ever see it again. Saying that doesn't make it a bad movie, it was a great comedy and got a lot of laughs. But overall it is something that I probably wont watch ever again.
Overall Bruno is a funny movie with a ton of shock comedy and scripted laughs. But it does cross the line by a mile which makes it uncomfertable and akward to watch and afterwards.
I gave it a 3/5
+Really Funny
+Interviews are hilarious
-Akward to watch
-Too much like a "gay porn"
