Bruno - Movie Review

it's very funny but not better than borat.

the most disturbing scene was the mother who was willing to have her 30lbs child undergo liposuction to get the job.

the scene with milli and the psychic was funny, but i wasn't busting up like the rest of the audience. they reacted like it was the funniest scene in movie history.

the funniest part for me was straight dave making out in the mma ring, and the reactions of that guy who was really into it. all the parts with oj were hilarious too.

i was disappointed that the mexican furniture was not authentic. they were obviously americans, and when i saw the the credits at the end, sure enough the actors were named richard, toby, etc... the neighborhood where they shot that scene is crawling with real mexican gardeners, construction workers... and they had to get a dude named toby? wtf?

yeah, was probably the best scene.

Cried like 5 times.. AWESOME. So good.

I thought it was freaking hilarious. I thought the scene when the two where locked together in the bondage gear was one of the funnier parts.

I am wondering if the dick visible scene's are of a real one or a fake one because there where some scenes where his dick where blurred or have a black bar across it.

This was especially good. All he had to do was hand him the key. But instead he didn't give him the key but he sure as hell did bring in 3 people to see them in the room!
Totally great satire!!!
I predict protests and boycotts and this film being banned in some places. Male genitalia does not go over well in movies. Female, yes. Male, no.
He's brilliant.

I think what's important in some of the scenes is the reaction of the person he is dealing with. The psychic was totally cool and didn't freak out as Bruno gave the blow job. Whereas the straight woman who wanted to get her child into show biz was willing to have a liposuction done on the baby to get the part. This entire movie is satire and based on stereotypes and reactions. Some of it is wildly funny, some it not so...but at the same time shocking. Notice how cool the black audience was in TX at the talk show until Bruno said he wanted to find a husband...then the audience (which was black) totally turned on him.

Brilliant, and so timely!

+1 - There's nothing like empathy for unfortunates while sitting on a worker.

+1 and probably some kind of union rule. I also enjoyed the eco-PR idiots, Paris Hiltons all.

Is it just me or Bruno looks a lot like SoCal?

lol, glad it wasnt just me that thought that. sort of a cross between SoCal and Magician

I like Borat bits better than Bruno in Ali G, but I thought Bruno was a funnier movie, mostly because he really went for the lowest common denominator toilet humour, which is always appreciated

the mime scene at the psychic was awesome. as was his Japeye saying "bruno" in the video he made

That Is Not How You Salute!

"Okay okay so what is the next Darfur charity? What is going to be Dar-five?"

I thought Borat sucked. Am I going to like this more?

Disagree. I've never seen an explicit vag in a mainstream movie. Even Shortbus, which had plenty of d on d, stopped short.
