Bruno Film Critique
m The movie Bruno and similarly Borat have a certain style of humor that can easily be offensive. Actually I think the only direction for Sacha Baron Cohen’s comedy is offensive. I’m not exactly sure how to classify the genre of Bruno. The concept of Bruno is basically Sacha Baron Cohen transforming his entire life as a pathetic star-craved homosexual. He approaches celebrities and other public figures and tries to embarrass them on camera using extremely offensive homosexual humors. M Personality, I thought the movie was quite clever throughout the first 50 minutes. After that, it was very easy to tell that Cohen ran out of material. After the 50-minute mark, Cohen became straight offensive and the movie fell off extremely fast. I thought Borat was hysterical. And after watching other random Cohen bits, he has a unique place in comedy. However, Bruno was a disappointment and epic failure. There are just some topics that people don’t agree are funny. And if you’re going to attack these points, you should have enough material to complete a 90-minute film. But that’s just my opinion.
