Member Movie Reviews K. K. (GAMER) Reviewed on 9/17/2021... This movie helped wash away any interest in movies by Sasha Baron Cohen. Don't waste your time. 3 of 3 member(s) found this review helpful. Mark H. (djmark) from MONTEREY PARK, CA Reviewed on 10/16/2020... So very very wrong, that it's right. So over the top and twisted, you will feel the pangs of guilt while laughing. Sacha Baron Cohen replicates the efforts of creating a character so well, you forget he isn't Bruno. You'll watch it once and then swap it. But5 you'll laugh to yourself whenever you think about it. 3 of 4 member(s) found this review helpful. Jefferson N. from BLAIRSVILLE, GA Reviewed on 12/28/2012... Bruno, Sacha Baron Cohen's follow-up to Borat, is even more in-your-face than it's predecessors! When Borat came out, a lot of the people that it was poking fun at didn't get the jokes, so a lot of no-brainer homophobe racists were running around using it's jokes as their new mantra. So, Cohen really slaps them over the head with this one, which is packed full of humor calling everybody to task! No ones gets out unscathated in this one! Once again, Cohen is playing one of the characters he brought to familiartiy on Da Ali G show, this time Bruno, the totally clueless German fashion reporter. Bruno is dissatistifed with his life in Germany, so comes to America to try to live his dreams...which do not fit in at all with the "good 'ole Americans" he's trying to live with. Part comedy story, part ambush journalism, you get to see Cohen tear into a host of celebrities as well as his normal political and pseudo-intellectual targets. A comedy farce that will have you crying...as long as you can laugh at yourself a little as well as others. 0 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful.  Cheysser R. Reviewed on 2/15/2011... Bruno is a hilarious movie to watch. It is quite similar to Sacha Baron Cohen's previous movie "Borat", so if you were not fond of that movie . . I do not recommend watching Bruno. I must admit, Bruno is a good movie to watch - ONE TIME. Other than that, it's not a movie that you would enjoy to watch over and over again. 1 of 3 member(s) found this review helpful.
Movie ReviewsLaughed so hard.... but not for the easily offended scot16897 | Austin, Texas United States | 07/11/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "This movie is *clearly* for those not easily offended. It is shocking and hysterical, but I don't think I could allow my parents to go see it. Sasha Baron Cohen's latest creation, Bruno, makes his way to America to become uber-famous any way he can. And he goes through lots of different attempts on his way. Acting, interviewing celebrities, guesting on talk shows, becoming straight, he tries many methods, each with it's painfully funny result. You'll love the Paula Abdul interview, particularly. The interactions with people are wonderful, and you will be appalled at what some parents will do to get their children into show business. Just stunning. There are a lot of shocking/uncomfortable funny moments (be prepared for gratuitous male nudity), and I am no sure how they will hold up for repeated viewings, but in a crowded theater, it was a scream. The ending is worth the buildup, and stick around for the closing song. I laughed so hard that my face was hurting, and my wife was crying from laughing so hard. It takes a while to recover, but soooooo worth it! NOT for the kids." And he doesn't look a thing like Borat lochnessa7 | Half Hollow Hills, NY | 07/10/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have to see Bruno more than once, most people probably do too. That's because Bruno is one of those rare movies where you're laughing so hard at some parts you know you're missing the next funny thing. As gay, Austrian fashionista and celebrity-wannabe Bruno, Baron Cohen continues his jaw-droppingly crass and outrageous stealth comedy antics. Purportedly, Baron Cohen has been beaten up while in character, so it only seems fair that he makes his audience laugh hard enough to hurt. Of course the usual Baron Cohen caveat is in order: yes, its offensive, yes, its gross, yes, there is a LOT of nudity, mostly male. If any of this is not your cup of tea, that's dandy, no hard feelings. If you don't mind the occasional sight of literally bouncing balls in the name of comedy, Bruno is pure gold. Post Borat fame has probably necessitated that more of this movie be staged, with at least some of the people (a talk show host, the driver of an oncoming car) in on the joke. But scripted or natural- its wickedly funny. And enough of it is genuine- including Bruno's interview/sex tape with Ron Paul, parents of would-be baby stars volunteering their 12-month-olds to play Nazis, ex-gay ministers, straight-rally wrestling audiences and general bystanders to Bruno's public antics. Bruno balances the line between social commentary and comedy like a model on a catwalk. As with Borat half the humor comes from people reactings (or not) to the character's outrageous behavior, and half from the eerily apt caricature Baron Cohen creates. Fame-hound Bruno is everything narcissitic, uninformed, vain and with the all-too-common undeserved sense of entitlement that makes up the worst of American pop culture. As with Borat, Bruno learns some life-lessons and grows as a person by the end of the movie- as Baron Cohen always seems to want to better his audience, even if he has to beat them over the head with a dildo to do it." Perhaps the funniest and saddest movie to take on the gay is Neil Kambeaze | Eugene, OR | 12/07/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I rented Bruno from NetFlix with mixed feelings. I had seen Cohen's other works, including Borat and the Ali G Show, both of which I found deceptively intelligent and political. His ability to make his characters' stupidity an incisive mirror which he holds up to society is mind-boggling. With Borat, I thought this form of comedy had reached it's highest point. I was wrong. Bruno goes further. Some are offended by the gratuitous male nudity. Deal with it. If looking at penises makes you deeply uncomfortable, you probably have issues that run deeper than Bruno. It's true that a lot of the content of the movie revolves around Cohen using his flamboyantly gay character Bruno to make conservative anti-gay types uncomfortable. This can be uncomfortable for the viewer as well, but with the ultimate pay-off of revealing America's deep-seated homophobia and questioning it.
SPOILER WARNING The film's finale gathers a large number of red-neck cage-fight enthusiasts in an arena for an event hosted by "Straight Dave", Bruno's straight alter-ego. When they get a touching (if gratuitously gay) scene of male-male reconciliation and love, the fans go crazy with disgust. Some of the audience leave, some yell violent hate slogans, some throw drinks at Bruno and his lover. Several of the fans looks shocked and betrayed, several of them comically wearing "Straight Dave" T-shirts they'd gotten for the event. I even saw a few in the crowd who looked like they understood the point that Cohen was making. People who were suddenly more disgusted by the gross display of homophobic violence on the part of the fans than the homosexual love that was taking place within the cage. While his methods may be questionable, I feel America is indebted to Cohen for his bravery, and that he is one of the single largest contributors to intelligent social commentary through comedy today." |
