Film review -- Brüno (Bruno) (2009)

I have to say I was a bit disappointed -- although those Harvard kids who packed the movie theater seemed to enjoy it big time. Borat was innocent and hilarious. Bruno is just silly and vulgar. The entire movie relies on gay jokes. The a** f***ing scene and the spinning dick scene are not funny (as the wrestling scene in Borat) but just disturbing. The Bruno in the original TV show is much a wittier interviewer who is able to ask interesting and tricky questions and manipulate the interviewees. The Bruno in the movie, on the other hand, is just a gorgeous idiot.
