Sacha Baron Cohen Goes Completely Nude in Bruno (2009)

by andaryl andaryl is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 15 '09
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 ...

"BRUNO": FUNNY, BUT LITTLE VARIETY IN THE HUMOR

by mike.holmes mike.holmes is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 10 '09
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 ...

Tales of a Screen-Sized Fallus

by bilavideo bilavideo is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 11 '09
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 ...

The Penis Has Jumped the Shark - Bruno

by Goatius Goatius is a Top Reviewer on Epinions 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 ...

BORAT It's Not: Sacha Baron Cohen as BRUNO

by xxxxer xxxxer is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 12 '09
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 ...

Bruno-Sasha Baron Cohen is Back and Crazier than Ever

by toiletoctopus Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 16 '09
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 ...

Bruno Has Ways Of Making You Laugh

by factotum Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 11 '09
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 ...

Borat set the bar, Bruno shattered it

by videodude , Jul 15 '09
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 ...

Bruno no Borat, not even Zoolander. . .

by ChrisJarmick Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jul 14 '09
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 ...

Don't Ask

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 ...

Bruno is outrageous and shocking fun

by garethvk , Jul 10 '09
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 ...

Obscurity? Genius? BRUNO!

by levski11 , Jul 28 '09
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 ...

Hey, want to see something cool? Click this link!

by FekIhr , Jul 11 '09
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 ...
