Bruno Movie Review 47

Well, there is very little I can tell you about this movie that you won't already know. Bruno is a fashionista who is from Austria and who was first shown on Sacha Baron Cohen's Da Ali G Show. It is a mockumentary and it is directed by Larry Charles.
Bruno(Baron Cohen ) is a gay reporter from Austria who is obsessed with becoming famous. He has a show on tv but he is fired after making a huge scene at some fashion show. He wants to be a star and where better to start than the U.S. He heads off to L.A. with his assistant Lutz(Gustaf Hammarsten). The jokes come thick and fast in the movie and it tries to highlight how stupid some people really are. Bruno gets a cameo on the hit show Medium but he is disruptive. He makes a pilot for his own show-that has to be seen to be believed- and he fails miserably. He tries to seduce Ron Paul who is NOT impressed as Bruno mistakes him for Ru Paul.

So, Bruno decides that having a charity 'cause' will make him famous so she decides to get in contact with two PR airheads who are so stupid, they are unbelievable. They are so idiotic that they make Paris Hilton look clever. He decides to go to the Middle East and bring about peace there. He meets some guys who are involved with some their own causes and tries to bring them together like that is ever going to happen and when he meets some terrorist, he is told to get out of the Middle East which he does. Next, he interviews the parents of baby actors for photos that he is going to take of his new accessory baby he picked up in Africa. O.J. is his name! Bruno asks the parents about all dangerous stuff which he would want their babies involved with an shockingly, they agree to everything. Are people really this stupid?Probably. Bruno and O.J. appear on some talk show and he tells the audience that he picked up the baby after swapping him for an IPOD. The audience are appalled and some woman from social services turns up and takes the baby away from Bruno.Bruno is depressed and he eats too much junk food and ends up in bed and in bondage gear with Lutz. They can't find the key to their gear and they have to call the hotel staff to try and get them out. The hotel throws them out and they have to go to the police station to get out. Bruno and Lutz fall out and Lutz leaves him.
So, Bruno decides that he has to go straight to become famous. He talks to some preacher who tells him that he can change. He tries Karate, joins the National Guard and goes hunting to try and become a heterosexual man. So, we cut to eight months later and we see a 'straight' Bruno posing as someone called Straight Dave who is hosting a cage match fight in Alabama. He is surprised when Lutz turns up and calls him a f****t. They end up kissing and all over each other much to the total disgust of the crowd who throw things at them and call them names etc. They both get huge publicity from this and Lutz and Bruno become married and get O.J. back. The movie ends with a charity single sung by Bruno, Bono, Sting and Elton John.
I liked this movie even though it wasn't that original. Bruno had plenty of laughs, though and it was worth watching.Some people have a problem with the explicit scenes in the movie, but I say, if you know what it is about and you don't like the subject matter, don't watch it, simple as that! It is meant to be a comedy and it is not meant to be taken seriously so I am giving this an 8/10.
