Pros: Incredibly funny Cons: Recycling of Borat, one note joke
He’s a gay Austrian fashionista, host of the TV show “Funkyzeit mit Brüno.” He’s also the fictitious third character of Sacha Baron Cohen’s Da Ali G Show. To the more knowing he has become a cultural icon. To the less ...

Pros: Cohen's "Bruno" is a hoot and his writing is funny and outrageous Cons: Too much of the same theme
I have to admit it. I'm a fan of Sacha Baron Cohen. I loved "Borat" and the "Da Ali G. Show." So, even though it meant that I had to stay up to the wee hours of the morning, I went to the midnight showing of "Bruno". Once ...

Pros: none Cons: crude, offensive, graphic, lacking in a decent joke
According to Rotten Tomatoes, 70% of the critics who saw this film liked it enough to give it a thumbs-up. That includes Roger Ebert, who didn't get Memento, hated Gladiator (before it won Best Picture) and thought Julia Roberts' performance in ...

by Goatius in Movies, , Jul 20 '09
Pros: Very good at times, Cohen is a comic genius Cons: Tries for shock laughs more than anything, message gets muddled, awkward
There is a sequence fairly early on in Bruno where a montage of sexcapades displays the sum total of the Austrian fashion icon's relationship with a significantly smaller Asian man/boy. Dark boxes cover up the main areas of activity, but ...

Pros: Several very funny scenes Cons: Bruno is more or less a one trick pony
I've got to admit that Bruno was perhaps the movie I was most looking forward to this summer. Having immensely enjoyed TV's Da Ali G Show and laughing my _ass off at 2006's Borat, I was expecting yet another completely ...

Pros: Great Positive Message about acceptance, Some hilarious scenes Cons: A bit dry, Slow paced, Previews ruined it
Sasha Cohen makes me laugh so hard, that I've worried about breaking a rib. His Da Ali G Show is one of the funniest productions, which is what inspired Borat and Bruno. He is a person who's not afraid to be controversial, and his ...

Pros: Funny as heck Cons: Not a unified piece
Sacha Baron Cohen & Larry Charles' new film Bruno is already elciting a wide range of opinions. Some think it is just offensive, others find it simply funny and its critics uptight. The majority of observers seem to agree that it ...

Pros: Same premise as Bruno, plenty of laughs, tighter comedy scenes Cons: I'm expecting the shocks, not as funny as Borat, far too much penis
It's not too often that a movie can polarize audiences like Bruno has, which is essentially a retread of Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy schtick but with a different character with the same concept. Whereas Borat had Cohen playing a Middle Eastern TV ...

Pros: Better than Ali G in Da House. You'll probably laugh a lot. Cons: Unfortunately it's not nearly as good as Borat.
I was hoping British Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen was interested in more than merely repeating himself with Bruno the latest feature length movie to come out of Cohen's Da Ali G Show (that splashed big on HBO a few years ago).After ...

by BaronSamedi3 , Jul 12 '09
Pros: Funny, shocking, tells us a lot about ourselves Cons: Meant to shock more than make us laugh
Remember how, after Sacha Baron Cohen made Borat, people everywhere said there's no way he would ever get away with making a sequel or a similar movie like that again? Well, here we have Bruno confirming that Sacha Baron Cohen has managed to get away ...

Pros: Great Laughs and outrageous humor Cons: Some may find it to offensive
Life is good for Austrian fashonista Bruno (Sacha Baron Cohen). As the star of the top Austrian fashion show, he is a fixture at all of the social events and is the flamboyant highpoint of any event he graces.That is until things go awry and ...

Pros: Slapstick, over-the-top, typical Cohen comedy Cons: Definitely Rated R, often controversial, too much for some
In his latest effort, Bruno, Sasha Baron Cohen proves that he’s indeed the only person alive who can make a living by turning obscure ideas into gold. Following 2006’s cultural hit — Borat — Cohen was well ...

Pros: Some humor? Cons: It's like a 2 hour long shock site viewing.
Ok, looking back on Cohen’s previous films – I thought I was going to get some actual humor. I actually found the HBO series version of Bruno funny. I’m writing from the viewpoint of a disappointed fan. At about 15 minutes ...

Pros: Outrageously funny Cons: Highly Offensive, Extreme Vulgarity
Sacha Baron Cohen has put audiences through the most uncomfortable movies starting with of course Ali G Indahouse, which came out in 2002 and then with Borat in 2006. Cohen stars as his gay Austrian ...
