After the success of Borat, I was really looking forward to Bruno. But as it turns out, it is a disappointment. Bruno is the kind of guy who can easily make you get irascible, so unlike Borat who looked funny and was funny right from the very first second on screen. Bruno's entrance is silly, a guy(you might not guess) dressed in the most outrageous outfit exposing his hairy thighs(too loud for adults to laugh at)who laughs that reminds me of a horse neighing. It just keeps getting MORE and MORE stupid from here. Using guys for chairs and plates... Had it been an animated movie for the kids then yes, it would've worked.
Despite the movie being just an hour and seventeen minutes I was consciously aware that it was really slow, except for the last half an hour which was hilarious in the most ridiculous way. It drove me nuts. Only when the movie got over, did I realize that I was looking for more. Had they interchanged the first half an hour and the last half an hour, maybe this would've been a positive review. It doesn't make much sense as a whole anyway.
Sacha baron Cohen may or may not suit such a role but my imagination doesn't stretch beyond- him being anything other than Borat. "Bruno" is to blame for that.
3 stars for evoking a few laughs and another 2 stars for the effort.
