Movie Review: Brüno

Oh deary me!

After having seen Borat, I knew I was in for more themes and scenes that push the boundaries of public cinema.

Some might think it’s sick and stupid, but I think Brüno is hilarious! Rarely do you laugh out loud and get teary-eyed for most of a movie. I laughed so much I was getting short-breathed, but that’s expected of a pregnant woman. (I wouldn’t recommend heavily pregnant women with weak bladders to watch this movie though!)

I haven’t really looked into how much and what was staged, but I have to admit that Sacha Baron Cohen has got some balls.

Just like Borat, a lot of the humour relied on the closed-mindedness of people. I am lucky that I live in New Zealand where issues such as homosexuality do not flare such public rage.

If you’re not a homophobe and have no issues with any form of obscenity then you’ll enjoy Brüno.

Your king Osama looks like a dirty wizard or a homeless Santa.

I haven’t seen this movie and it doesn’t sound like my thing, even though that picture is amusing. :P
