Despite being WAY over the top, Bruno is a hilarious waste of time summer film which I'll more than likely see again. It's far more satisfying than being held hostage at Transformers - even my 18-year-old son couldn't explain the plot to that special effects jumble - because it doesn't fit the typical Hollywood formula. I had a great time: it's hard not to laugh when Cohen is backstage at a fashion show getting models to explain how difficult it is putting one foot in front of another, being chased by religious Jews for his Orthodox-styled short shorts and his adventures in a US that most of us don't even know exists. It certainly isn't for everyone - if you'll be offended by a skit involving learning self defense against being attacked by a person using sexual aids, you'll probably want to see Harry Potter - but don't prejudge it just because there's male nudity and an abundance of in-your-face homosexuality. It's smarter than most films and not afraid to put it on film. I though I wasn't going to like "The Aristocrats" - one of truly dirty movies - but it was a scream.
Also, my 18-year-old does not need my permission to attend a movie or concert. I would give my opinion but the idea that I'm going to dictate what he sees is alarming.
Please, everyone calm down. This is obviously an April Fools Day joke that was mistakenly sent a week late. Really, does anyone believe sane people would advocate such a nonsensical idea? There, doesn't everyone feel better?
