Regarding Bruno

Bruno is a feature length film released on July tenth of this year. The film was directed by Larry Charles and written in part by the star of the movie Sacha Baron Cohen, who plays Bruno. Bruno is the story of a famous Austrian fashion reporter who falls from grace and travels to Los Angeles to regain world wide fame. Bruno is much like Cohen's previous movie Borat in that the movie contains two types of scenes. The first type is the traditional story telling scene where the characters interact and the plot moves forward. The second type consists of the character Bruno interacting with individuals in real life situations where he acts so flamboyantly in your face with his homosexuality that it brings out a plethora of different reactions from your everyday American. These reactions range from the benign to outrage. Overall, I would say that it was a good viewing experience but not a great one. The advertisements gave away too much. I will leave you with one warning concerning the movie. If you are not comfortable with full frontal male and female nudity, or scenes of that nature, then do not see Bruno.
