It's hard to say Bruno is actually good. The movie stand alone, if it came before Borat, would be awful. Since Borat was a hit, and now Cohen can be recognized easily, it's obvious that this movie would be terribly offensive. Whether you're homosexual, or were shocked by the jokes, the movie takes it too far. Possibly the farthest I've ever seen a movie take it. The content is disturbing, the plot is borderline, and the acting pushed. All this, makes an entertaining type of mockumentary from european stylist BRUNO.
Bruno is a fashion designer who is the host of a hit austrian tb show. Bruno gets fired, and from there takes his assistant's assistant to venture America and become famous.
This movie'll make you shield your eyes from the profane content either discussed or depicted. It's hard to watch really, but if you're into those sort of jokes with an added edge of realism, then you will enjoy Bruno. Especially if you liked Borat.
