Bruno
I went this afternoon, and I must say that Sacha Baron Cohen doesn't just tread a fine line, he tramples all over it. It is so rude and so so crude that I found myself blushing in places. Bruno is the host of the most important fashion show in the German speaking world except Germany - so Austria basically. Bruno messes up and gets fired from the show and decides that he will go to Los Angeles and become famous. He tries to get into movies and TV and fails. He then decides to take up a charity. He then goes to the Middle East and confuses houmus with Hamas, tries to get himself kidnapped, then nips off to Africa and adopts a baby he calls OJ. He renounces his sexuality, goes hunting with rednecks, has an experience with swingers, and becomes Straight Dave. And on and on it goes - relentlessly!
I forgot to mention that Bruno's lover is a short airline steward - the things they get up to give the film it's deserved 18 rating. I cannot say this strongly enough. It is a very adult comedy that deserves it's 18 certificate.
If none of the above appeals to you, then do not go and see it. There were some seriously inappropriate jokes. The audience I was with laughed hilariously. And I have to admit, so did I. It gets really dull halfway through and I fell asleep - no change there, but it does pick up 3/4 of the way through.
It will be like Marmite, you will either love it or hate it - no halfway house here.
