I saw Bruno last weekend. I’m not really going to review the movie, except to say that it was very funny (equally funny as Borat, but not as good a movie). I’m also not going to comment on whether the film is good or bad for gays, as others have already done. My impression is that Cohen doesn’t really care about the answer to that one, and is simply submitting himself to pretty much anything in order to get a laugh. The most remarkable part of the movie to me was how frequently Cohen did something ridiculous without getting arrested or violently harmed. NY Mag has this interesting piece showing how many of the events went down with info you won’t find in the movie. Needless to say, it’s completely filled with spoilers.
Pulling off Bruno was tricky
