It's properly ridiculous, mad entertaining and, dare we say it, laugh-out-loud silly.

Box Office: $59,992,760
Synopsis: After BORAT took over America in 2006, another Sacha Baron Cohen creation arrives on the big screen. In BRUNO, the gay Austrian model of the title brings his antics to the States.

Reviews for Bruno
Better than Borat? No. But easily just as good, and twice as outrageous.
07/10/09
Sacha Baron Cohen's latest outing is undeniably hilarious and you can't help but admire the sheer chutzpah involved in making the film.
07/10/09
Baron Cohen is an astonishingly focussed performer; we have no idea how he doesn't crack a smile.
07/10/09
Borat remains Sacha Baron Cohen's masterpiece. But gag for gag, Brüno is every bit its equal. So is it the best comedy of the year? Without a doubt.
07/10/09
As funny as some of this is, though, even with a running time just shy of 90 minutes, Brüno often feels as if it's straining for effect.
07/10/09
Bruno is not for the easily upset but if you roared with laughter at Borat the chances are that you will find the gay Austrian model even more outrageously funny.
07/10/09
As social satire, 'Brüno' is boorish and scattershot; as farce, it is obvious and erratic.
07/10/09
You have to give Baron Cohen's publicists five stars, though the film itself falls short of that.
07/10/09
Not since Lenny Bruce has a comedian pointed a spotlight on people with such observational precision.
07/09/09
Bruno is curiously ineffective, a sort of middling effort that fails to liberate itself from the stereotypes that provide the character's foundations, even if it also doesn't deliberately or harmfully reinforce them.
07/09/09
If you're naďve, in high school, or a dedicated follower of scatology, you'll think this is genius. Anyone with world experience, however, will feel left out of the loop.
07/09/09
There's laughter but it's empty, mean-spirited laughter. Bruno makes fun of people for no other reason than it can, not because it has something to say.
07/09/09
Sacha Baron Cohen has nearly succeeded in his quest to be the film equivalent to Howard Stern. Crude and crass rather than challenging, shocking rather than stimulating, Cohen doesn't seem to care what he does so long as he gets people talking.
07/09/09
It is proof positive that this emperor of comedy has no clothes, a fact that he seems depressingly eager to demonstrate throughout.
07/09/09
While there are some big laughs to be had, Bruno ultimately fails at its more grandiose intentions as a sharp satire about our obsessions with celebrity and tendencies towards homophobia.
07/09/09
The reason Bruno doesn't rise to the level of Cohen's earlier work %u2014 besides the inevitable diminished returns of revisiting now familiar territory %u2014 is that this time around the film is more interested in making fun than in making a poin
07/09/09
A condescending picture that always takes aim at easy targets, fires away with a blunderbuss, and then pretends to be courageous for what it's done.
07/09/09
Yes--if you're asking--Brüno is quite possibly the most uproarious, groundbreaking, and shocking comedy of the past decade--and that includes its sister film which showcased the Jew-phobic Borat.
07/09/09
Intolerance and outrage has never been funnier, and nobody incites it better than Brüno, Borat or Baron Cohen.
