Plot
Brüno is a gay Austrian fashion guru. He has his own fashion based television show, Funkyzeit, the most popular German-language show of its kind outside of Germany. After he disgraces himself in front of his Funkyzeit fan base, he is ruined in German speaking Europe. He decides that in his quest for worldwide fame, he will move to Los Angeles and reinvent himself. Accompanying him to the US is Lutz, his former assistant’s assistant. Lutz is the only person left in his circle that still believes in Brüno’s greatness. Brüno goes through one reinvention of himself after another, ultimately straying to areas far removed from his own self. Perhaps when Brüno finds an activity that he truly does love, he will also find that über-fame he so desperately desires

Review
I was a bit late doing this review, but it’s been on my to do list.
I was always a fan of Sasha Baron Cohen, especially in his days of “Ali G”, I remember on that show when he had a small segment with “Borat”. When I got around to watching Borat, I got half way into the movie and switched it off. I didn’t find it that funny, which is kind of where I was at with Bruno.
Some parts of the movie were funny, but some were over the top and were there to shock people. Which is probably what it was intended to do, but really are extremes the only way he can get any attention in a movie?

I really haven’t reviewed this movie much, but what can I say? It wasn’t a movie, it was just an hour and a half of crap that was supposed to be funny. Sure I laughed at some of it, but most of it I didn’t.

Review
1.5/5
