First ‘Bruno’ Reviews Indicate Another Monster Hit

re ..baron cohen

dont know why im even bothering mentioning baron cohen because hes obviously a comedic genious..NOT..

baron cohen is a coward ..he picks the easiest targets and doesnt seem to try to con people like myself from whom he would get short shrift...or then again what if 2 o 3 cameras were shoved in my face with this clown asking stupid questions...of course we are so obsessed by celebrity he would probably bamboozle the slightly gullible ..but of course we will never know because his so called victims may know what his aim is and be taking the michael out of cohen by pretending to go along with the joke...this in my humble opinion is what makes his humour purile adolescent and just NOT funny...plus most of the fans of this obnoxious idiot are students or slightly older...and i suggest they watch old monty python sketches or faulty towers or even candid camera clips...i blame jeremy beadle for this student humour and baron cohen has continued this purile nonsense

I completety disagree with you in the claim that he is a coward what is cowardish is to say he's a coward behind his back and I doubt that you would put yourself in these sititions and I believe a movie like borat that will have always be a classic and people watching it years after it is out and with bruno that will be probably as funny if not funnier will also have a following and also with ali g character that he plays that has 5 movies in 6 years out, do you what i think i think your jealous of him and jeaulous that you will never be that famous or smart.

I disagree as well. How could you call any man that went into the middle east and insulted terrorists to their face, a coward? I'm surprised he made it out alive!

Bruno is the worst piece of rubbish I have seen in a long long time. I hope it's a long con and Sacha Baron Cohen comes out and makes fools of all the idiots who said it was good.

Let me just say I loved Borat, clever at times, there was asome shock tactics but on average it was about seeing how far he could push the envelope. Bruno however is all shock tactics and very little else.
It is an almost scene for scene carbon copy of Borat and I hope if he is being serious about releasing this tripe, that he gets the criticism it deserves.

Judging by your comments, spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, it is clear you have never been a student yourself. It is rather obvious you are in a bad position to judge what is student humour is.
You clearly missed the point, Cohen is mocking celebrity culture and all those who worship self important plastic people.
Go and watch Fawlty towers? There are different forms of comedy in the world.....The two cannot be compared at all, also, John Cleese was recently quoted as saying Cohen was a comic genius...Oops. It seems you're wrong again. Go jump off a bridge.

Bruno had me laughing at the jump. I'm 40 year old Woman and love the raw, embarrassing, hilarious humor in the movie. He pretty much mocks everyone in the movie. I was concerned how Gay people might take this flick but seeing the credits with Elton John playing the piano and singing on top of a Mexican pretty much gave it the Gay Mafia sign of approval.

It's sad how someone can talk mess about a movie they have not seen yet? This male seems very bitter and almost take Sacha’s comedy personal.

I will tell you this movie is very graphic and would advise any adult to please not take their underage children to see this movie.

I would say this is going to be a huge hit for Sacha Baron Cohen

If fawlty towers and bruno can't be compared, then why are you comparing them?

Bruno.We were really expecting a great movie.Thought it would be funny.We enjoyed "Borat" which was done by the same guy.This movie was not good.Wasn't funny to us.We watched about 2/3rd's of the movie waiting for it to get good but gave up and decided to leave.A waste of time and money.The hype had me expecting a much,much better flick than what was offered us.I don't think I'm being over critical here.It really does stink!

You people are all idiots. The movie did exactly what it was supposed to do. It was funny and shocking but by no means was it outrageosly clever. Also, on a student humor note... what student have you ever heard of caring about spelling and grammer on anything as insignificant as online article responses. I hate all you people for being so pathetically critical of every minor detail. Just relax and appreciate a funny joke for once.

Went to see Bruno last night. Not having seen Borat, did not know what to expect. This was the WORST film I've seen. There were some funny scenes, but it was gross. My girl friend just about walked out. The so called German Bruno speaks is not quite what was displayed. My opinion, STAY HOME & SAVE MONEY.

Honestly, I laugh at everything... and this movie was not funny it was disgusting. story line to similar o borat but unnecessarily graphic... people were getting up and leaving the theater don't waist your money

I just saw Bruno, and somehow thought it should not have included those uncensored scenes. I saw many in the audience leave as it got embrassing. Knowing how brilliant Sasha Cohen is (I admired the movie BORAT), but Bruno went too far.. He could have easily made it so funny, without those sick scenes at the end.

Just saw it, don't waste your money, and it isn't even close to Borat.

I completely agree with Patrik. when Borat made me cry of laughter, Bruno just bored me to sleep. It was so predictable. I was so disappointed I was going to ask for my money back. I will not recommend it for anyone.

This movie is hilarious! I cried laughing. I do not think that I have ever laughed that much in a movie. You do have to be intelligent to get all of the jokes, however. And it is incredibly raunchy and offensive. Do not take teens to see this movie. This movie is for adults only and is only for those who can stand raunchy and offensive jokes.

I am a 48 year old woman and together with my 49 year old boyfriend, we went to see Bruno. I think I laughed as much or more at this movie as I did at Borat. My boyfriend was laughing hysterically as well and he is not shall we say gay-friendly. Yes it is offensive and graphic and predictable but who else has the guts to make a movie like this?? I am tired of all the politically correct garbage that passes for entertainment these days. This movie is not for everyone but I certainly enjoyed it.

I thought that this was the most despicable movie ever produced. I am a very honest law abiding citizen but i would have had no problem breaking into the theater and igniting the filmstrip. I will never go to another movie with the same cast, Not Sacha, the producer, director, anything. I strongly recommend not wasting your time and money on this film unless you enjoy subjecting yourself to the most crude humor you have ever faced. It is vulgar disgusting and offensive to politicians, african americans, jews, christians, caucasions, and the gay community. Never again!!!

This was a very bad movie. After 45 minutes of it we walked out. All this time we sat through only hoping it might get better, considering the amount of publicity it had.
I am not sure how intelligent were the jokes or how much intelligence one needed to understand them!
Raunchy and offensive yes with greater emphasis on offensive!
Do NOT waste your Time or Money. AVOID!!!

I find my self laughing through out the day (at inappropriate times I might add)
just thinking about this movie and the people it offends. Kudos to Bruno!!!

As someone else said, we need a movie to point out to us that right wing nut jobs have a gay bias?

Sorry.. REFUSE to see this under any circumstances

I LOVED Borat and was SO looking forward to Bruno. It was shocking (expected that) but unfortunately NOT funny! I did not laugh and was just grossed out most of the time. The difference between the two movies is that Borat was likeable. You rooted for him and laughed at his sweetness. Bruno was just creepy and wore funny outfits.

If you left 2/3rds of the way through, you cheated yourselves out of the craziest movie scene I have witnessed in my 45 short years on this earth. The scene in the middle of the Ultimate Fighting Ring was absolutely the funniest thing I have ever seen. How did he make it out of Arkansas alive?

I went to watch the movie last night with 4 friends and We all loved the film - laughed and squirmed in equal measure though, but still disgustingly funny and totally entertaining throughout. I can't begin to list how many times I laughed my head off - it was just hillarious and sick, and in a way has scarred me for the rest of my life but still it makes me chuckle in private. Must see film and totally legendry. Well done Cohen you sick bastard! ha ha

Watched Bruno last night and to say the least, very dissapointed.
All the funny parts were showed in the ads for the movie.
Borat was non stop funny, but this .... Bruno, Don't Bother.
Over the Top - Over Rated - with 90% of the funny parts already shown on the clips............

if u left during this film u must be part of the boring world this place has become over the past 10 years due to political correctness... people who hate this film need to take a long look at their lives.. funniest movie ive seen in ages.... cohen for president!

The movie was a riot and a huge hit. Saw this last night with my boyfriend and we've never laughed so hard. As far as the negative comments i've read toward the film, most scenes are graphic yes, but everyone has their own kind of sense of humor and if your humored by hilarious humiliation, this movie is for you. Who has the guts to make a movie like this now-a-days? Bruno is Brilliance, funny & clever.

Very graphic and wouldnt reccomend this for younger viewers. GO SEE IT!

I cannot believe the amount of negative comments regarding this film. It is comedy genious at it's best. Completely legendary. I was told that the hangover was the funniest film of the year. I regret to inform that it hardly made me grin never mind laugh out loud. Another typically mild humoured comedy. Bruno on the otherhand was the direct opposite. I was in hysterics at regular intervals right from the start till the finish. Borat was good, but this is even better. If you're a boring person who likes a laugh but only when it's not actually funny, then get Dodgeball on DVD as have a sniggle everytime someone falls over when a ball hits them. If you can handle something that really is funny then go see Bruno. One of the funniest films I've ever seen...

I thought this movie was totally hilarious. I haven't laughed this hard in a very long time. Negative comments are what's to be expected though, plenty of closed minded degenerate homophobic hicks. It can be pretty graphic at times, but even so, I thought the ending was very sweet. This is one of the few movies I will be going to buy on DVD. If you have an open mind, this is very funny movie, if you are the stereotypical homophobe, this movie is not for you.

I just saw this movie with my friends and mom, it was very uncomfortable not knowing it would show body parts in sick, perverted ways. I don't even know how they allowed this in theatres. The previews have no hints or ways of showing this movie would be so graphic. I didn't even get how some of this is fake or real. And to make fun of racism of people and stereotypes, how would have those people not have something done, how could they stand it. Especially "O.J."? I have to admit some of this was completely hilarious. But how could someone that is Jewish himself, do that?

The fact that he's Jewish makes it less offensive. He's showing how ignorant people really are...great moviefilm!!

I am extremely disappointed that this movie is being shown in theaters with an R rating. What happened to Audrey Hepburn, Dick Van Dyke, Henry Ford, Clark Gable? What happened to movies based on novels and that questioned the world, philosophy. and held complex stories?
The opening scene involves a man shoving a bottle up the behind of another man repeatedly and pulling it out. There is also the scene that only involves a penis rotating around and around. Where is the story, the questions, the complexity? Books and movies hold a purpose-their purpose is to expand our knowledge. Bruno did not expand my knowledge. When I sat in the movie theater, my intelligence level dropped and I became very depressed. Why did I become depressed? Because if this is the direction the media is going in, the future generation and our children will be exposed to such explicit graphic things at even younger ages, and X will become PG 13. Because in Bruno's case, X was certainly R.

Movies like Bruno and Borat are something called COMEDY, which doesn't necessarily imply that it has to make sense. If you are looking for a complex film or something philosophical try a drama, action or suspense. Don't go watching Bruno, that doesn't seem so intelligent to me.

I could see how this movie could be funny but we went with my little brother and it got to a point where we were shielding his eyes and had to leave 2/3s of the way through the movie. It was pretty funny but don't bring anyone who is offended easily or anyone who cannot handle extreme graphic and disturbing behavior.

i thought that Bruno was better than Borat but that's just my opinion. I also think that people think rasism is okay to laugh at but are completly agaiant anything to do with a movie with a gay man. Most people refund thier tickets because they are homophobic and this movie just goes to show how judgmental the world is towards gay people. If you went to this movie, you saw the trailors and knew what you were getting yourself into. Cohen has made a good point in the sense that gay people are discriminated against and has done so in a funny way

i saw it twice

Bruno was hilarious, if you like darker comedy and have an open mind :D it was for me personally better than Borat, laughed trough it all. GENIUS FILM, cant believe it has so many negative comments.

Look, I agree that it shouldnt have a rated "R" rating because its far more graphic that jut "R" that much, you guys are right about...I would have been soooo uncomfortable had I gone with my dad.. that said, this movie was brilliant! Cohen is soooooo funny!! Just begining to end this movie had me laughing...what a good time!

Yes, graphic scenes could have been scaled down for sure, that was kinda overboard. I'm 46 yr old woman and have to say that after seeing this movie I had a tummy ache for hours (laughing uninterrupted thru it all) - I don't think any other movie made me laugh so much. Instead of R18 I'd give it however R25 - I don't think even 18 yr olds are mature enough to go and see that - more like 25+. Still I consider Sascha B. Cohen the genius comedian of present times. I hope no crazy nut decides to take aim at him for insulting whoever/whatever.

I loved Borat and watched it multiple times and so did my teenage daughters.
Borat was crude but he was loveable and was able to push the boundaries and get away with the crudeness and still keep it hilarious. Unfortunately Bruno crossed the boundaries and whilst funny in places many scenes were plain gross and shocking but not that funny. I only watched 2/3 of it as my partner walked out and refused to watch the rest. I would have been happy to watch the rest but I can say that is wasnt nearly as enjoyable as Borat. I am very open minded and not easily offended, but I would guess Bruno would highly offend alot of people.

Bruno is such an isparational movie. I have watched it twice now, once with a friend and the other with my mum (who loved it). Both times the ending has made me cry, I'm still not sure if I cried with sadness that homophobia is still so prominent within our society or that I cried with happiness that there are great people like sascha b really doing what it takes to provoke thought and change! Which he is obviously doing seeing the debate on this wall!

Go Humorous shock tactics!!!! You are the best!
