Best movie of this year hands down!
best movie i've ever seen.
A Masterpiece!
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
It's hilarious, seems like people either love it or hate it. Ridiculous and cringe- inducing at times but keeps my attention as I can't help but admire the gut's that went into creating it. I'm half gay and am not offended by this movie but then again like Cohen I'm also British and used to this type of humor.
How does Borat have a 7.3 and this only a 5.8? Both movies follow basically the same formula: A crazy, super exaggerated walking stereotype played by Sacha Baron Cohen goes to America, getting involved in wacky antics and meeting some celebrities along the way, often in front of real unsuspecting crowds. Do people hate this movie because its the same formula again? I guess you could argue Borat is a little funnier than Bruno, but even still, its hard to get a laugh out of me and I involuntarily burst out laughing at least 15 or 20 times. Is it because of offensive, overly exaggerated gay stereotypes? I know this movie goes a bit far at points, but come on people, have a sense of humor! Pointing out Americans' ignorance of foreigners with funny accents is OK but doing the same thing with gays is too much? Sure. I often find myself rating movies lower than the average score, but this is a great movie, and I'd easily give it a 7 or 8. I honestly have no idea where the hate for this movie is coming from. Granted, its a HARD R and some of its more extreme content might be a little off putting to some, but come on people, this movie is hilarious!
My hero is an imaginary fellow in an imaginary scenario. He is almost identical to me, but there are two huge differences - he is adept at converting innermost thought into stirring words of passion and truth, and he is brave, the Sacha Baron Cohen kind of brave when he made Bruno. My hero is at a movie critics gathering. Oh look, there's that critic from one of America's oldest and most revered publications who wrote that Bruno "will appeal only to those in the vortex of puberty, or to adults who have failed to progress beyond it." My hero will make a speech to this group, and by the end of his speech everyone will think Bruno is the greatest film of all time. But I am not that hero. Bruno is the best movie ever, and I have not convinced you. Not even close. I could at least try a whole lot harder, but I don't see the point. I've never been good at persuading others through solid reasoning and creative thinking that an idea is right. One key similarity that I and my hero have - we are both extremely perceptive. But don't we all think we're perceptive. If you don't get Bruno, then you don't get it. And if you get it, I think you're very perceptive indeed.
Brüno (Sacha Baron Cohen) is the gay host of Austrian TV fashion show Funkyzeit. When he cause a ruckus on the catwalk, he becomes a pariah. He decides to go to L.A. in a search for fame with only his assistant's assistant Lutz.I've never found the overt gay character that funny. Nathan Lane's shtick has always annoyed me more than hit me funny. This is ten times worst. There is a certain hit and miss quality about all comedy that is hard to explain. This one annoyed the heck out of me. There is just no joy in this character. I find no redeeming quality about him. It's not simply that I didn't laugh. I actively hated this selfish self-obsessed character. He is not just a nice clueless gay dude. He is actually mean spirited. A lot of the jokes are too desperate. The fact is most people would try to be nice to this idiot and he needs to go overboard to push people for reactions. Even then, the reaction isn't that funny.
