Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno is a vulgar, offensive comedy that works. No matter how disgusted, horrified, or shocked you are by the lengths he's willing to go, you laugh because he actually goes that far. He succeeds. And it's funny. The bare-bones plot follows a gay Austrian fashion reporter on his quest to become an American celebrity. He tries hosting a talk show with Mexican furniture, adopting an African baby like Angelina Jolie, and even becoming heterosexual. But the fashion world is not so quick to accept him.Where the movie succeeds, it does so brilliantly. Yet the comic moments are not as believable, frequent, or hilarious as compared to Borat. And it's very much the same movie, but with a different persona that Cohen takes on. The structure and style of Bruno are nearly clones of Borat, and what made me love Borat so much was that I had never quite seen a movie like it before. This movie will make you laugh, but it unfortunately doesn't live up to the expectations that Borat set up. It won't change anyone's opinion on his style of humor, but if you already know you like it, go check it out.
