Brüno

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Crude and offensive, but with ample cultural insights and gut-busting laughs, Bruno is another outlandish and entertaining mockumentary from Sacha Baron Cohen.

The Spectator

Well, when it's funny, it is funny, but it is only intermittently funny... What I'm saying, I think, is that the joke has worn thin.

Newsweek

Baron Cohen is, without doubt, the ballsiest comic of his generation-and one of the brightest. But it's hard to imagine him taking the guerrilla shock tactics of Borat and Brüno any further.

I don't know if there are any comedians working today as fully dedicated to a joke as Sacha Baron Cohen.

Rated: B+

Deep Focus Review

Funny how Brüno, the latest cinematic incarnation inspired by a character from Sacha Baron Cohen’s Da Ali G Show, proves to be daring, topical, and so revealing about American society, while also being so crude, outrageous, and shocking.

Rated: 3/4

For those fearing that fame may have dulled Baron Cohen's edge, I can tell you it hasn't.

Rated: 3/5

Gone With The Twins

This second outing of in-your-face raunchiness is less unexpected as it is simply extreme.

Rated: 7/10
