Review Time: Bruno

Three years have passed since the release of Cohen’s critically acclaimed Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Notable for it’s extremely offensive brand of humor, Borat also brought something to theaters that was rightly labeled as revolutionary–a candidly thorough skewering of contemporary America (especially the notion of cultural tolerance). It’s 2009, and Cohen has now unleashed Bruno, a film that sets its sights specifically on two things: America’s pervasive, nearly insatiable obsession with stardom and–as you may have guessed–its perceptions/treatment of the homosexual community.

Even though Borat is shockingly crude, it is also easily accessible (and, I must say, consistently hilarious). Bruno is a different beast altogether. It crosses the line into “awkward viewing” territory, ultimately alienating the viewers it’s trying the hardest to reach.

The plot of Bruno is similar to that of Borat. The self-proclaimed Austrian fashion icon is fired from his position as the host of a prominent television show, and decides that in order to retain his fame he must travel to the U.S. Naturally, his first stop, along with this quiet, straight-laced assistant, is Los Angeles. Once there, he hires an agent and tries to work his way up the Hollywood totem pole.

I would say if you dont care of being offended then you should see this movie. It will make you laugh and it will make you gasp in OMG I cant believe they just did that. But what can you expect from the creators of Borat and Ali-G.

MY RATING: 4 stars
