2/10
A touch too much!

Warning: Spoilers
Having already been a long time fan or Sacha Baron Cohen' s Ali G television show and having already seen '06 Borat, I was expecting this film to be a little border line in it's humor. It's not so much clever as it is shocking. I mean, I think all the girls in the audience were more shocked than amused when without warning a penis is flopping around the screen. What the!?!? Here in N.Z. this film has a rating or R-16 which is ridiculous. R-18 should be the case but our chief censor has no idea what appropriate is obviously. I'm a manager for a cinema and we have already had various people walk out of Bruno in disgust. I mean come on, give me a break, most of us can all take a joke, I enjoy a good laugh as much as the next person and some.... SOME of this movie is really funny. But the endless barrage of penis/gay jokes and the very explicit Swingers party sex scenes are totally inappropriate and I'm obviously not the only one who thinks this as the opening weekend box office has taken a HUGE dive from opening day. Are we so desensitized with what is being portrayed in films these days that we have forgotten about good morals??? Do you a parent really want your daughter/son going to watch this sort of thing which is basically pornography. What ever happened to good clean fun movies??
