But... It's probably about as awkward as telling your parents you have a sexually transmitted disease.
Bruno is another documentary-like comedy starring Sacha Baren Cohen in the lead role. Like Borat, Bruno makes fun of the American Stereotypical southerners. The main plot line of Bruno follows the title character (who is flamboyantly gay) trying to become famous after his hit Austrian tv show bombs. Bruno, with his assistant's assistant, Lutz, must try to find out how to be a Hollywood Superstar.
The movie itself makes Borat seem tame. All the ways that Bruno tries to become a "superstar" are crude, disgusting, and sometimes very un-necessary.
The movie however also shows how stupid Americans can truly be. The fact that there are priests who "convert" those who are gay because "it's not what Jesus wants" makes the audience do a double take because of how insecure it makes these people seem.
Overall, Bruno maybe trying to make southern America look bad but in the end, this movie basically turns into gay porn. Nice try Sacha, but maybe Bruno should stay in short sketchs on Da Ali G Show... Where it belongs
