Consensus: Crude and offensive, but with ample cultural insights and gut-busting laughs, Bruno is another outlandish and entertaining mockumentary from Sacha Baron Cohen.
Theatrical Release:Jul 10, 2009 Wide
Box Office: $59,992,760
Synopsis: After BORAT took over America in 2006, another Sacha Baron Cohen creation arrives on the big screen. In BRUNO, the gay Austrian model of the title brings his antics to the States.

Reviews for Bruno
It’s certainly not that there aren’t a few funny moments in the film. There are, but overwhelmingly, Bruno’s stunts are demeaning, they are insulting and they are really cruel.
07/13/09
'Bruno' is just as much filthier and certainly more bodacious than any comedy you've seen.
07/13/09
Sacha Baron Cohen is the most fearless comedian around. Culturally, he is pushing people forward kicking and screaming.
07/13/09
Kudos to the amazing Sacha Baron Cohen who offers one of the best characters since 2006, an actor who can remain in character even with a gun to his head.
07/13/09
The pic is all about Cohen goofing on others he feels superior to.
07/13/09
While Cohen's taboo-breaking audacity remains in full force throughout Bruno, his ability to keep the big laughs on a roll has waned this time around.
07/12/09
Borat feels like a story, Brüno comes off more as sketches, very funny sketches. It's like an R-rated Daily Show.
07/12/09
I felt bad for some of the folks, such as Ron Paul and the poor preacher he picks on. I wanted lightening to strike others, such as the parents of the babies he interviews for a casting session.
07/12/09
A Vapid, Empty and Relatively Hateful Flick. And this is From Someone Who Loved "Borat".
07/12/09
A giddy mash-up of social, sophomoric and shocking humor.
07/12/09
A brilliantly rude, deliriously insane closeted sexual politics on steroids mockumentary. Boasting Bruno as the anointed White Obama, waxed rectums, defense moves against multi-hued dildos, and Ron Paul as peeved object of erotic desire.

Bruno is no Borat!
07/11/09
No stoop is too low for a Cohen gag.
07/11/09
Bruno has enough gay heat to toast a Pop Tart in the Pope's ass.
07/11/09
Get ready for more shock waves. With Bruno, Sacha Baron Cohen again pushes the sociopolitical comedy envelope as far as he can.
07/11/09
Unless you are really, really, really, really difficult to offend, you will be upset by something in this film. Seriously, count the "really"s. Do the math. Prepare yourself. Sacha Baron Cohen does not pull punches. If you were disturbed by BORAT, you are
07/11/09
But by pointing out how low some people will sink to hit the heights of fame, Baron Cohen can raise as many valid discussions as he can squirms.
07/10/09
Sure, the shine is off as far as Cohen's particular modus operandi, but this is a funny comedy with both the capacity to make you think and genuinely recoil.
