In 2006, a film by the name of "Borat" took theaters by storm. It both shocked and amused audiences around the world with it's raunchy/colorful humor. It was also a hybrid of comedy/documentary... acting as a feature length hidden camera show with a storyline thrown in. Now, three years later, the actor that played Borat (Sacha Bara Cohen) returns as another one of his popular characters... Bruno, the gay Austrian fashion show host.
This film is basically the definition of homophobic. There are a constant slew of gay jokes from beggining to end. And, addmitedly, it's all hilarious. The point of the movie is to make audiences as uncomfortable as possible, and it succeeds greatly. Sacha Bara Cohen has balls, let me tell you. I can't believe he pulled off half of what he pulled off. He's lucky that being arrested is the worst thing to come out of filming this movie.
Like "Borat"... this mockumentary is all about the shock humor. Without the shock factor, it simply wouldn't work. If you thought Borat was offesnive, wait until you see this raunch-fest. The amount of nudity and sexual jokes is doubled... making it even harder to be a film to watch with friends.
That being said, the film managed to be engaging and caused me to laugh out loud, cringe, and even shield my eyes at one point. If you are offended easily, avoid this at all costs. Othewrwise, buckle up and prepare yourself for a crazy ride.
My Rating - 5 out of 10
