Brüno is a gay Austrian fashion guru. He has his own fashion based television show, Funkyzeit, the most popular German-language show of its kind outside of Germany. After he disgraces himself in front of his Funkyzeit fan base, he is ruined in German speaking Europe. He decides that in his quest for worldwide fame, he will move to Los Angeles and reinvent himself. Accompanying him to the US is Lutz, his former assistant's assistant. Lutz is the only person left in his circle that still believes in Brüno's greatness. Brüno goes through one reinvention of himself after another, ultimately straying to areas far removed from his own self. Perhaps when Brüno finds an activity that he truly does love, he will also find that über-fame he so desperately desires.
Leave your thoughts about Brüno.
| News of the WorldRobbie CollinBorat remains Sacha Baron Cohen's masterpiece. But gag for gag, Brüno is every bit its equal. So is it the best comedy of the year? Without a doubt. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersTo paraphrase Heidi Klum, one day you're in, the other you're out. I'll let you guess which one of those two categories I think Brüno belongs in. |
| Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewMichael A. SmithNot since Lenny Bruce has a comedian pointed a spotlight on people with such observational precision. |
| Sunday Mirror (UK)Mark AdamsFor the majority of its short running time Brüno is a masterpiece of comedy by embarrassment. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)David EdwardsOne of the funniest things you'll ever see. |
| Suite101.comNick RogersWhat "Bruno" may lack in setup innovation, character conviction or "Borat's" inherent sweetness, it makes up for by pushing things beyond points of comfort or, in some cases, personal safety. Successfully uproarious in slaying social stratification. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonNot all of the jokes are complex, or smug. Some follow the pure, simple slapstick route to the belly laugh, and there are enough of those to please many Cohen fans. |
| E! OnlineNatasha Vargas-CooperSacha Baron Cohen uses his guerilla tactics to 'expose' the vanity and vacuity of Hollywood and the American South. His high-wire humor can be very funny, but here the groans often drown out the giggles. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanA politically-incorrect savior, that rare comedy that revels in bad taste while also actually having something worthwhile to say about the world we live in and the senselessness of stereotypes. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfIt's a bubbling potion of the staged and the real that supplies a suitable comfort zone for Cohen to manufacture his most outrageous character: a hulking gay fashionista with a tireless libido and a limited appreciation for personal space. |
