Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Really funny and not recommended to homophobes
Verified purchase: No
This is garbage, I would consider that I would laugh at most anything, but this film was just utter rubbish.
Bruno, what can i say? Possibly the most gratuitously, stupidly, Hillarious, in slightly bad taste but funny film you are ever likely to see and feel wrong for laughing along. An especially good bit is the Interview with Harrison Ford, and the Table sequence with Paula Abdul - You know its wrong but you have to laugh. If you are easily offended then dont watch this film, if however, like me, you can appreciate the humour in most situations, and accept it for being exactly that, then watch this film. I genuinely rocked with laughter, which i know not everyone will, but I'm one of those people that watches a film and suspends disbelief as much as he can. One question the film did leave me with though, is if the sequence with the child models was based on reality, then exactly how many sandwiches short of a picnic are the parents of those children . . . . . .Read full review
A full frontal (pun intended) assault on celebrity and homophobia, Bruno follows the eponymous gay Austrian TV host (Sacha Baron Cohen) as he sets out to become "the biggest Austrian superstar since Hitler." The exiled fashionista embarks on a global quest to become a celebrity, aping the headline-grabbing antics of stars like Angelina Jolie and Madonna, in his single-minded pursuit of fame, but he finds more homophobia than lucky breaks during his globe-trotting journey. Bruno always had the proverbial deck stacked against it. There was just no way that Cohen could recapture the pop cultural phenomenon that was Borat or that sense of discovery and novelty that won over general audiences back in 2006. Too many people are simply hip to his act now, and the suspicion that more than a few of his "unsuspecting" victims are actually in on the joke never ebbs while watching Bruno, no matter how uproariously funny it gets. And seeing as how Cohen's entire schtick is predicated on being "real," that sense of fabrication undermines the film. For all its flaws, Bruno nevertheless works as a raunchy, no-holds-barred comedy. There are plenty of unforgettable, hilarious sequences, with the most noteworthy involving "regular" people rather than the famous (although Bruno's interviews with a Presidential candidate and a terrorist leader show just how perilously far Cohen is willing to go for a joke).Read full review
