Bruno

Wow... Bruno pretty much sucked.. it sucked dick. It had a lot less heart and none of the likability of Borat. It also seemed very staged and went over the top with the gay jokes... to the point were most straight men probably wanted to leave the theatre and hunt down fags. I understand what Sasha Cohen is trying to do, but to most people his movies are just a few laughs at the expense of the jews and the fags. Most people dont get the irony when they sing "throw the jew down the well" and just see it as a way of showing their anti-semitic views without the criticism.  The big difference is that the Borat character is naive and has an innocence to him. He comes off as a genuinely nice guy confused by the racist beliefs of his culture... you root for him. Bruno is not like that. He is a prick. You don't care if the terrorist kills him... his racism is not a product of his culture but rather his own beliefs. What bothered me about Borat was that too many jokes went for shock value. The thing people remember most is the naked fighting. I always found the genius of Cohen to be his interviews and the quick wit he showed in them twisting peoples words and having them buy into his ignorance... this is probably why my favorite character remains Ali G. Bruno basically only goes for the visual shock. It will also make most people homophobic... in closing this movie is fucking gay.
