As brüno travels the world in search of fame, everyone he encounters — celebrities, politicians, Hasidic Jews, terrorists and cage fighters — becomes a stepping-stone to stardom, with hilarious results! So prepare yourself for nonstop laughs in the film Peter Travers of Rolling Stone says should be “Numero uno on your funny-time list!”
Amazon.com
The brilliant British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen dips into his stable of pre-existing characters and comes up with a big-screen vehicle for Brüno, a gay Austrian fashionista. Brüno is blond, fame-hungry, and prone to wearing unexpected combinations of lederhosen and hot pants. But it's his runway disaster with an all-Velcro suit that gets him barred from the Milan fashion scene and leads to the cancellation of his TV show. ("For the second time in a century, Austria had turned on its most famous man," he complains.) Clearly, he needs to go to America and share his philosophy--or at least become a celebrity in whatever way possible. Brüno rolls out in a fashion similar to Borat, a combination of a scripted through-line interspersed with scenes of Baron Cohen improvising with people who don't realize they're being set up, Candid Camera-style. About half the time, this reaps some healthy laughs: a sequence with Brüno sitting down for a conversation with a "de-programmer" who claims to cure people of their homosexuality is on-topic, and there's a wild series of interviews with parents so desperate to get their kiddies into showbiz they'll agree to all manner of dangerous and irresponsible childcare. A lot of the humor isn't about Brüno's gayness at all; Baron Cohen is at his best when displaying freakish comic bravery (sitting across from a terrorist, he advises that "Your King Osama looks like a dirty wizard"). But the other half of Brüno simply misses the movie's best targets--homophobia and celebrity culture--by miscalculating the nature of ambush comedy. When Baron Cohen gets former Presidential candidate Ron Paul in a hotel room and begins to undress, Paul isn't showing bigotry by storming out (except in his language); he's understandably reacting to obnoxious behavior in a supposedly professional situation. Too many set-ups fall short of the mother-lode pay dirt that Borat so frequently hit, leaving this a distinctly lesser item in the Baron Cohen portfolio. --Robert Horton

The thing that truly baffles is how violent American men's reaction is to even finding out that someone they are talking to is gay. That is how crazy the homophobia has gotten. I found this film disturbing not because of the behavior of Cohen but because of the violent and, at times even sadistically hateful behavior of the people he attempted to befriend (I know he tried to hit on them - it really isn't that big of a deal - women deal with it all the time. Sometimes, some men don't even ASK beforehand. By comparison, Cohen's advances were just silly and awkward.)
One who is comfortable with who they are has no need to torture or kill those who are different. I wish that Cohen would keep making films like this. American needs to have it's hateful prejudices and insecurities laid bare for all the world to see. How else is anything ever going to change? Clearly, no one in this country is brave enough, morally mature enough (or man enough?) to step up and try. Here's to Cohen. Thanks, mate.
Bruno is an Austrian fashion icon, and host of his own show. Things turn sour for him quickly over the course of a few days when his velcro suit doesn't do as well as he hoped, he loses his show, and his pygmy boyfriend leaves him. So Bruno decides to head for America, where he plans on starting his own interview show with celebrities, shooting back into the spotlight and becoming a star once again. Of course, that doesn't happen. Many of the city people he encounters don't appreciate his sense of fashion, and want nothing to do with Bruno. Even going so far as to be straight (just like John Travolta and Tom Cruise, Bruno notes), Bruno wants his show to work, and will do whatever it takes to be famous once more.
The majority of the movie is, like Borat, interviews and segments of Bruno traveling from place to place. But it's all about the reactions that everyday people and the celebrities he interviews have. When Bruno kisses another man in a mixed martial arts ring, the crowd goes absolutely ballistic (though they would've had no problem seeing two guys in boxer briefs have a hugging contest), parents he interviews to get their kids in an ad agree to anything no matter how ridiculous the requests are, a bunch of swingers don't quite get Bruno until it's too late, and more. It's hard to talk about any of these without ruining the jokes, but all 6 of us in that theater were cracking up at every bit. A notorious scene involves Bruno's test screening for his show to some regular people in an NBC conference room. A few walk out when Bruno starts dancing suggestively, and when the camera zooms in on a man's...unit...swinging around in circles for a few seconds, only to have it point directly at the camera and yell 'BRUNO!' with the tip, you'd think that it had made personal jabs at each and every person in that room. I suppose if there IS a message here, it's to show how uncomfortable a lot of people still are with those who aren't straight, but you have to admit that Cohen's really pushing it, going pretty far to get that message out there. It's still funny, but the difference between this and Borat is that where Borat came off to most as just someone from another country with little knowledge of American life, Bruno is making all kinds of moves on men and has no problem showing some skin as well. I guess the only other little problem I had was that clearly a lot of scenes were staged and not so real, though some of that is explained in the special features.
The picture quality varies because of how the movie's filmed. A lot of segments are done with handheld cameras and certain scenes were grainy and had ghosting problems, but others looked great because they were shot on more professional cameras. Notably those in the beginning of the movie when Bruno's at fashion shows. The audio's good too, though it's really not worth mentioning much since you're watching this movie for laughs, not to test out your new home theater setup.
For people into doing comedy with reactions from the public, the special features are perfect. And for those who wanted to see more interviews, you're in luck. There's about a whole hour of deleted/alternate scenes here! A lot of them were cut for obvious reasons, like one with Bruno interviewing La Toya Jackson, where he does everything he can to get her phone so he can get Michael's number. There's even a deleted interview with a white supremacist. Trust me- it goes better than you might think. There are also a brief interview with talent agent Lloyd Robinson, and I don't want to spoil anything here but it's my second favorite extra. The main course of the special features is a picture in picture commentary track with Cohen and director Larry Charles. They explain tons of material and freeze the movie to go over how a scene was filmed, what was staged or how they got a certain reaction (the talk show bit is almost ruined by this), and since they stop the movie to talk, it extends the run time by about 26 minutes. This track is very crucial to those who want to do this kind of humor. Also, if you buy this movie, some versions come with a digital copy, but the code expired last year.
The first time I watched Bruno, I thought it was hysterical, and upon watching it a second time tonight, it mostly got a few light breathy laughs out of me, but it's still funny. Just like with Borat, most of what's hilarious here works the first time. This is one of those movies that's good to watch maybe once or twice a year, but more than that might kill it. But again, the movie isn't for everyone. If the infamous fight scene in Borat offended you, then good luck getting through the first 20 minutes of this one.
Brüno hosts a fashion show in Austria, and he's apparently very influential. Sadly for him, his latest creation (the full velcro suit) goes too far and he gets expelled from that universe. So naturally, he moves to Los Angeles to try and become a celebrity. Will he succeed?
Where to even begin... The first time I watched that movie, I couldn't even finish it because I was bored out of my mind. And now that I've finished it, I can attest to its utter... whatever it is. It's trashy, it's vulgar, it has absolutely no merit whatsoever. Like the second Borat, its ultimate goal is to get a (very) low-hanging fruit, i.e. conservatives. I'm not one, but the way he does it in the last half hour - going through his "conversion" therapy - is sickening.
In short, don't waste time or bandwidth on this movie. Watching your own trash can will be objectively more enjoyable. And although I hate the expression (it's overly used), I was truly offended by Brüno. I'm gay myself, and this depiction is one of the reasons why I stayed in the closet for so long.

Ho acquistato la versione in inglese, si coglie meglio la comicità molto sottile dell’autore.
Non lo consiglio a coloro che se la prendono facilmente, che non capiscono ironia e sarcasmo e che sono fideisti o di certe idee politiche: potreste offendervi.
Per chi sa mettersi in gioco, fa riflettere. E poi, fa anche morire dal ridere e ci svela per quello che siamo: nonostante tutto, abbiamo un fondo oscuro, che viene portato a galla quando ridiamo a certe battute ed è ciò che deve farci riflettere.
W Funkyzeit mit Brüno!
Ursprünglich schlicht Bruno, das betonte Ü kann ich mir nur als Form der Anspielung auf z.B. Harald Glö[ö]ckler - Pompöös irgendwie erklären !?
Zur Handlung: Brüno ist ein 19 - jähriger, österreichischer und stockschwuler Modenarr. Er ist Reporter der angesagten Fashionschow "Funkyzeit".
Nachdem er mit einem exklusiv für ihn angefertigten Outfit, komplett aus Klettband während einer Modenschau für reichlich Verwirrung sorgt, wird er "schwarzgelistet" - ist out, wird abgefertigt und verliert seinen Job.
Zutiefst enttäuscht von der oberflächlichen Lifestyle - Szene beschließt er kurzerhand, nach Amerika zu gehen und dort ein großer Star zu werden. Sein Partner verläßt ihn. Der einzige, der überhaupt noch zu ihm hält, ist sein neuer Assistent Lutz. In den USA angekommen, muß Bruno aber feststellen, das seine Art hier wenig toleriert wird.
Dennoch läßt er sich nicht unterkriegen und versucht alles, um sein Ziel zu erreichen.
Wenn palästinensische Terroristen damit brüskiert werden, das ihnen gesagt wird: "euer König Osama sieht doch aus wie ein versiffter Weinachtsmann ... oder ein durchgeknallter Zauberer".
Wenn in einer Kleidung gewordenen Parodie auf den traditionellen Kaftan vor streng orthodoxen Juden in Israel herumgetänzelt wird (was, siehe Kommentar, lebensgefährlich war !).
Wenn mit "echten" Männern gemeinsam zur Armee oder zum jagen gegangen wird, diese dabei allerdings komplett mit für jeden Hetero peinlichen Momenten extrem provoziert werden.
Wenn während einer "normalen" Swingerparty z.B. eine Frau dermaßen zur Weißglut gebracht wird, das sie schließlich wild um sich prügelt ... sodaß nur noch ein Sprung aus dem Fenster die Rettung verspricht.
Wenn vor einem Tarot - Kartenleger, der angeblich die Verbindung ins Jenseits herstellt zwecks Konsultation mit Rob Pilatus, ex - Mitglied von Milli Vanilli zur Karierreberatung, von Bruno hier erstmal öffentlich pantomimischer Oralsex praktiziert wird.
Wem das allein schon nur in der Vorstellungskraft zum schmunzeln bringt, tja, - der wird hier garantiert (!) ablachen können.
Ausleih, - Kauftip (DVD hat noch über 100 Min. Bonusmaterial).
Avec se nouveaux personnage Sacha Baron Cohen dénonce les dérives extrémistes en tous genres de la société américaine a travers des interviews ou des situations insolites...
Si vous pensié qu'après Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen ne pouvait pas allé plus loin dans se qu'il osait faire, attendé plutot d'avoir vu Bruno!!!
