Two of the most cringeworthy unfunny hours I've ever had the misfortune to experience.
A friend and I only lasted 30 minutes before we left. Nobody else in the cinema found it funny, there was a stunned awkward silence throughout. It was puerile in the extreme and painfully unfunny. No wit or cleverness, just giant cocks waving about. Summed it up really!!squirrel2007 said:

Bruno was not that good if compared to Borat but I think it's worth a watch. There is some crap and I felt it wasn't going anywhere a few times but I would definitely watch it again for the ending if for nothing else... well maybe for the interview with Harrison Ford

Me?...i had a good
at the film.Bruno was funnier than Borat I thought. Didnt drag on as long between funny parts.
Anyone I know who has seen it has had a really good laugh at it.
I went in expecting it to be terrible and probably a bit dull. I laughed so hard I was hurting from laughing about a quarter of the way into it and it just got worse and worse. It was offensive, shocking, wrong, very well done and very very funny.
Worth paying a fiver and going to see. If you go and dont find one bit funny, you must be a boring bar steward.

What? It was amazing! Probably one of the best films I've seen to date.t.Oh hang on, I'm thinking about the Shawshank Redemption again. Bruno was rubbish. Well, I did laugh a few times, but couldn't be arsed with it in the end. Watched something else instead.

No wit or cleverness, just giant cocks waving about. Summed it up really!!I actually liked Borat but as I said, this was just not funny. I felt sorry for the people he set up. there was no attempt to do anything clever, it was just an endurance test for the interviewees (and audience). waving your willy around isn't funny nor is undressing infront of an old politician. Bruno used to cleverly expose the vacuous nonentities in the fashion world and we would laugh at their ignorance and prejudices but this was just a man trying to humiliate anyone he found by the crudest and least inventive means neccesary.
Some people found it funny, well ok. Some people liked 2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps. there's no accounting for taste!!
You need a "meh" option, didnt love it or hate it, it was patchy IMO
thought borat was way better because he was a more believable character and didnt seem scripted in any way, you could easily see (American) people falling for this weird antiquated foreign person, and believing they realy do st in bags.
Bruno seemed very contrived, you could see half of it coming, and I found it hard to believe anyone would fall for half the stuff.
One example was the bit with the pictures of the celebs, and he said them all in their german names, it felt scripted and shoehorned in, an abvious gag, it was like a little britain sketch, funny if you are a moron.
some bits were funny, but a lot of it seemed to be there for the sake of being shocking, rather than just being a by-product of the script and the chatacter like in borat, BTW the script pretty much much follows borat anyway.
overall, meh.
