Bruno (2009) scores a combined 3.50 out of 4 stars for The Movie BoyThe Movie Boy
Rounding things out with a performance that pairs together Bono, Sting, Elton John, Snoop Dogg, Slash and Chris Martin in a skewed anthem about equality, "Bruno" is a politically-incorrect savior, that rare comedy that revels in bad taste while also actu ...read the complete Bruno movie review at The Movie Boy

Bruno (2009) scores a combined 3.50 out of 4 stars for Rolling StoneRolling Stone
What I will say is that Bruno, directed by Borat's Larry Charles, who stays admirably allergic to slick, is a comic call to arms. It uses humor to draw blood. Maybe Brüno is more scattershot than Borat. ...read the complete Bruno movie review at Rolling Stone

This movie goes beyond what he has done before. So funny and so wrong at the same time. If you are not easily offended see it. ...
