''I am going to be the biggest Austrian celebrity since Hitler.'' Flamboyant Austrian fashionista Brüno takes his show to America. Sacha Baron Cohen: Brüno Firstly to begin with, I must say I praised Cohen's Borat at uncovering the true underbelly of America, it is extremely hard to do the same here because of the obvious shock value of what he's playing out has been done before. Bruno ends up being a recycling project on speed, the time certainly flies that's for sure. Much like its predecessor, Brüno, begins in his native country to showcase the reasons behind his journey to the USA. After being shunned from the fashion community in Austria he decides to do what is the next logical step—live in LA and become a celebrity. It isn't as easy as he expected, so after a failed ...Read more

"Vassup?! I'm Brüno!" A full frontal (excuse the pun) cinematic assault on homophobia and celebrity culture, Brüno gives Sacha Baron Cohen the opportunity to bring another of his misfit characters to the big screen in this follow-up to the hugely successful Borat. After achieving worldwide notoriety with Borat, it'd seem impossible for Cohen to anonymously deceive people with his provocative candid-camera antics once again. But lo and behold - the devilish actor has pulled it off thanks to a fresh new guise, and has found a new group of unsuspecting people to exploit for laughs. Cohen, who seems to have a pathological hate for America, has again proved that the US is indeed home to the dumbest, most screwed-up people on the planet. Brüno is a worthy successor to Borat - it employs a ...Read more

Sacha Baron Cohen returns to complete his personality films in Bruno the third film based on Da Ali G show(the orgin of Cohen's characters which was on HBO for a whopping two seasons). With the first film being ALi G Indahouse, the second the highly controversial Borat-cultural Learnings of America for make benefit glorious nation of Kazahkhstan. Bruno who is just as crazy as Cohen's other characters and is an Austrian gay model who screws up on his walk on the stage. Then resorts to coming to Los Angeles to become a famous movie star. Bruno is a very funny film , although it is a required taste in comedy. The poster for Bruno says that Borat was so 2006 which makes us think it will be better. however, Bruno doesn't quite top Borat nor do I think it had any intentions of doing so. Bruno is...Read more

Wow. After seeing this movie i had to take a shower. Not only did it have as many (if not more) laughs as Previous film Borat; but it contained some disturbing scenes that left me asking "They can show that?" Starring Sacha Baron Cohen as Bruno, the uber famous Austrian trying to make a name for himself in the US of A. He tries every single way possibly thought of to get famous; including attempts at a sex tape, trading an African child for an ipod and showing him off as an acessory, even trying to get kidnapped. Watching Cohen set up situations which are extremley uncomfortable for people unaware they are being filmed may seem like a bad excuse for a TV show, but there's something about him that has you in tears from laughter as that certain segment ends. I'm sure there are many on the di...Read more
