Mara Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Anyone planning to see this? I just recently (finally) saw Borat, and almost peed myself laughing. I've seen the extended previews on USA for Bruno and it does look funny, though it seems to rely mainly on gay stereotypes. This is probably one of those things that people either love or hate; people who hated Borat no doubt won't care for Bruno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSnwdog Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'm not too sure about this one. Borat was hysterical, and I remember the trailers even looking good. This one just looks weird. But Sasha is a comedic genius, so I may see it if the reviews are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluvgeddy05 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 My only hope is that Bruno is as smart as Borat was. If it's just a funny movie, it won't have the same effect as Borat in my mind. Still, as a fashion fanatic, I can't wait to cringe at seeing him crash Fashion Week in Paris wearing a velcro suit, stumbling on stage with designer pieces attached to him.

I'm no haute couture expert, but yes, the velcro suit thing should be priceless. Wasn't that during the Prada show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluvgeddy05 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Saw this on Saturday. While still hillarious, didn't have the sharpness that Borat has. I was annoyed that the story line seemd to follow that of Borat too: man leaves country to go to USA, side-kick comes with him, leaves him at some point only to reunite again. Other similarities as well. My rating is 7/10, where I give Borat 10/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian Hunter Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Meh. Go and watch Sasha's sketches. He was really funny then. I still don't understand why he's given Bruno long(ish) hair. Looked much better with a bleached blonde mohican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southernjim Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Well, this movie doesn't really seem like a winner to me, but I'll still see it when it comes out on DD, just to see if the rumor that he tries to make a sex tape with Ron Paul is true.

Good thing I was told otherwise, or I would have missed the funniest movie I have seen in years. I haven't decided if I'm waiting to see Bruno at the theater of catch it when it comes out on DVD.

Make sure you watch the interviews he does with people of importance in the UK. He's interviewed politicans who I think didn't have a clue who Ali G was, and the results were spectacular.

I love his visit to the UN, the 'techmology" forum, his interview of Al Haig ( ). There's great stuff on those discs. For me, Sasha's like SNL. I love most of the sketch stuff, but translated into full-length features, they get tiresome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softfilter Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Borat was great, Haven't seen Bruno will rent it. Review I read didn't give it a high rating, said the joke gets old and would be funny in short sketches but the same gag is not worth movie length. Also critic said some of the reaction to the Bruno character looked contrived and staged this time, not like Borat. Which gives speculation that some already knew what Sacha Cohen was up to and aware who he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
