Bruno, starring Sasha Baron Cohen was not funny. It was shocking like Borat, yes. But it was not as funny or original. Like Borat there was the expected showing of male genitalia, but it was overdone in Bruno.
I know that the main character, Bruno, is gay and that does give some warning as to the penis we will see, but i feel scarred. I would estimate 10 or 20 minutes of the 1 hour 30 minutes movie was an eyeful of penis.
While Borat was crude, Bruno was cruder and over-the-top. I –being a teenager and the primary audience– thought I would enjoy the movie. I was wrong.
Bruno was an unpleasant display of male nudity that went too far. Other jokes were made. And some were funny. I don’t want this to be perceived as an entirely negative review. I did laugh –hard– from time to time, but overall Bruno was a let down from the expectations that Borat provided viewers.
Once again… penis.
