Mein Bruno Review.
VATSUPPPPP Spill, ichim Axel, and today i'm going to be poking you in the face with my Bruno review.
I would say that by now, you'd have to be living under a rock to not know who Bruno is. But for those banal morons, Bruno is a character created by Sacha Baron Cohen who has had recent fame with his character Borat. He portrays Bruno as a gay Austrian fashion guru eager to claim fame in the US and A.
I'll say right off the bat that I absolutly loved Borat. It is one of the funniest films i've ever seen being both outrageous and unique. This time around, the elment of suprise is gone, now we know what to expect. So before I even went in, I aimed my expectations lower knowing that there would be nothing that could suprise me as much as Borat did. And I was wrong, this movie is far more outrageous and gross then Borat.
Before I give my review, i'll give the plot. So Bruno is Austria's leading fashion guru who has his own show, and as you've probably seen from the trailor, decides to wear the jumpsuit made entirley of velcrow. A poor desicion in retrospect because Bruno is soon fired for his shannigans. He then sets his eyes on Hollywood and goes to pursue his dream of being uber famous. And from there the wild and crazy shit begins, from the hole of a dick yelling at the screen, to a remote trying to purchase Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium on pay per view. This film goes bat shit crazy. Bruno desperatly tries to scrape fame from well known publicity stunts. From Visiting the "Middle Earth" to swapping a baby for an Ipod, and as racist and offensive as this joke was, it does end in a heart breaking way. And the final act of this film, will leave you speechless.
This movie, is absolutly hilarious. Although it doesn't have that Borat factor, in which everyone was a target, this film feels as though about half of it was scripted. There is a large amount of male body parts and things being inserted into mens bottoms that will definetly make you cringe, now matter how tolerant you claim you are. I can see why this film was rated NC 17. There is a certain scene that is pretty much, a sex tape. And parents, leave the kiddies at home. I saw this woman with two little kids in there, and they didn't laugh, they were just sexually abused by the screen.
Overall this film is great. I loved every second of it. But not as much as Borat. Sacha Baron Cohen truely is one of the gems of the acting world, and he is an oscar worthy actor. To do scenes in one take and not smirk, or slip up is brilliant. There is a scene where he is being hit over and over by a belt and he doesn't run away, or cut the film off. So go get your assenharmer bleached, chave your cooglesack, and go spend a masculine night at Bruno.

Comment by Charlton Normalman on July 10, 2009 at 11:26pm - This movie was very funny- there was never a minute when I didn't laugh. Although Borat is better than Bruno, I think Bruno comes close to it. I agree that the first 10 minutes set you up on whether or not you should watch the film or walk out of the theater. Bruno was 10 times more offensive, gross, and uncomfortable than Borat which made the film, to me, more AND less entertaining. Some scenes I felt were staged which was distracting (obvious one is where all the parents say "Yes" to Bruno's photo-shoot questions). Bruno felt like Sacha Baron Cohen's most exaggerated (gay) stereotype and wasn't innocent or likeable as Borat- but I guess because Bruno is supposed to be egotestical. My favorite scene has to be when they air Bruno's TV show pilot to a few people. Bruno on the film was 100 times funnier than the Bruno onDa Ali G Show.

Why the hell did she bring her little kids there in the first place? She's probably complaining about it now...when it was her fault.
