Review of Brüno

Brüno (2009)
6/10
Mediocre entertainment
9 July 2009
Sasha Baron Cohen stars as his alter-ego Bruno the Austrian fashionista from Funkyzeit.

This film tracks the misadventures of Bruno through a series of tragic comedic adventures and outrageous stunts.

It hardly compares to the crass and over-hyped Borat which sold on its shock value alone.

One feels that perhaps Ali G, Borat and Bruno have past their sell-by date, but this remains a film that will provide some R rated entertainment for a decidedly niche market.

For fans of the comedic genius of Cohen, this character is certainly camp, flambuoyant and zany, but the humor is wearing thin and the acting is sub-standard.

Worth watching, if only to complete the trifecta.
