I recently had the opportunity to see Sasha Barron Cohen's newest film Bruno. For those of you who don't know, Bruno is a character from The Ali G Show (the same show where Borat came from). Bruno's character (played by Sasha Barron Cohen) is a nineteen year old gay German fashion designer. The film plays and looks a lot like Borat, but you can tell the filmmakers looked at Borat and realized what worked and what didn't work.
The film starts off with Bruno loosing his job in Germany. He quickly decides he wants to go to America to become a Star, and will do WHATEVER it takes. When I say whatever, I mean whatever. Everything from adopting African babies to trying to go straight. If you thought Borat was crude and inappropriate, you haven't seen anything yet. Since Bruno's character is openly gay, expect lots of crotch gyrating and nakedness (complete with comically large sensor bar!).
From there, Bruno films his own television show, joins the coast guard, goes hunting with some Texans, and even goes to a Swingers party! Each scene is as hilarious as the next, and it's taking ever fiber in my being to not ruin each hilarious scene! While some scenes are a little more obviosuly staged, it never takes away from the film and always keeps you wanting more.
The truth is, I havent laughed so much at a movie in so long! Is the movie like Borat? yes. Is that a bad thing? No. This movie takes hidden camera comedy to a whole new level and if I had to describe this movie in two words it would be "VERRYYYY NIICCCEE!!!".
