Sacha Baron Cohen does it again. At some point, he will become simply too famous to be able to pull it off, and by now, if you have yet to know the schtick, you are probably a 'tard, a hill-jack or, excuse me, a product of the projects. Because here, in Bruno, he pulls the wool and his scrotum over the eyes of all aforementioned.
Case in point, Sacha, as the flamboyant Australia has-been fashionista reporter who's now just trying to become famous, is shown here on a mock set of a talk show hosted by, also has-been Richard Bey, is a flaming father of utmost irresponsibility showing off his new baby. Yes, the entire audience is filled with enraged African Americans who are either totally staged, totally retarded, or totally ghetto to the point that they don't know Sasha's gimmick that he's made famous on Da Ali G Show and Borat. So... this takes me to my only criticism about the movie. I know some of the stuff is staged... that's not a secret nor unintended. But I'm not sure which parts are and which parts aren't, so for me, what happens is I start to feel that it ALL is and that totally, er, blows the gag. Just watch the movie trailer and read on because...
FilmBender Movie Reviews are written by me... part 'tard, part hill-jack, and aspiring to be as hip and current with the music scene as any playa from the 'hood, so be sure to see it for yourself. Don't get me wrong, as with all Sacha's other sh*t, I f-in' laughed the whole way through. On the talk show when he got into an argument with the audience about how, on his recent trip to Africa, he couldn't believe how many African American's were there, I mean, that was actually great comedy (and seemingly as dangerous as screaming out "your mama" in that dark setting). The flopping dildos and swinging penises and homophobic, sophomoric humor is what had me and the rest of the theater dying, but as I said, there is some small comic penis, I mean, genius in what he's been able to pull off here, again.
