Bruno

Adriftpanda · 07-13-2009, 08:14 AM

So there were many mix reviews for this movie so I decided to watch this movie for myself last night. Within 10 minutes of the movie, there were at least 2 couples that walked out. I thought the movie had some very funny moments and other times I thought, wow this is unreal!

Don't take your kids to see this movie! If you liked Borat you will like this movie. Oh and make sure you have a high tolerance for penis and ass! Lol

Ha. Thanks for the Review Huy!

A friend of mine saw it over the weekend and hated it...He said it wasn't worth the $10.50 at all. He was disappointed because he loved the shows.

I spent 5 bucks for a "pre-viewed" Borat DVD, and consider it was only about $4.75 wasted. Funny? Not much. Useful coaster? Yeah, if you plug up the hole with duct-tape.

Hell, with so many classic comic movies out there, going back to Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd, why waste time with this crap? And exactly who thinks this stuff is really funny? These guys - and I could name two dozen without even breaking a sweat - would have to go to nightschool to make it to sophomoric.

I don't know that this movie can be as good/funny as Borat. He is basically doing the same thing over again.. That said I'm still going to see it. Probably during matinee for 5 bucks tho

If you compare Bruno to Borat and Ali G, Bruno really has no story to it. I only paid $5 to get in since im a film society member and I honestly think I would have been more entertained just handing that $5 bill to a homeless person.

I am a HUGE fan of Cohen's work. I loved Borat, Bruno, and Ali G when it was on HBO, so needless to say I was excited about this movie.

This was the worst movie I have EVER seen. Don't waste your money, heck I wouldn't even wait until rental. I would see it when it comes on HBO, Max, Showtime, etc. I was truly disappointed.

Had a few funny moments, but was nowhere near as good as Borat. And had lotsa unfunny raunch! Looks like Cohen might need to watch his back- Hamas might issue a fatwa against him.

I watched a bit of the Borat movie a few weeks ago on tv. For the life of me I cannot figure out where there was any comedy in the 30 mon or so I saw. Quite honestly had he pulled some of the **** I saw on me out in the street, I'd of been arrested and he would have needed the ER.

Just the ads for the Bruno movie are lame and disgusting enough to convince me I'd rather burn a nice $10 stick with a friend than see that crap. On the other hand, just my .02 and YMMV.

Is it true that he tried to lap dance Ron Paul?

More like sexually seduce him.

This movie is f*@king crap. Total waste of money, there was one part that made me chuckle and the rest was just garbage. It's the worst movie i've gone out to see since "The Thirteenth Child" and that's saying a lot lol.

His earliest work as Ali G was great and he has slowly been going downhill.

Its funny how this movie is creating such dissenting opinions, especially among Cohen's fans. I have friends who adored Borat but think Bruno was terrible.

Personally I just loved it.
