Funny as hell, but not for anyone.
Added 11/23/2009
This movie has some funny jaw dropping moments. I can understand why some people would hate it. It puts you out of your comfort zone. Its unexpected, original, funny and shocking all at the same time. I personally loved every second of it and only wish they could come out with Bruno 2.
I had expected the famous Sears scene that was in the trailer to make the DVD but sadly it had disappeared along with the other scene where Bruno is dancing in a club setup. It takes great courage to go through what the production team and actors had to go through shooting the film. Like Lloyd said that America is lacking sense of humor today so enjoy the movie for what it is and GET UBER IT.

Completely unfunny
Added 11/22/2009
I had high hopes for a serious laugh-a-thon when I ordered this film...boy was I disappointed.
I thoroughly enjoyed both the UK and HBO TV series of Ali-G as well as the Borat movie. Bruno on the otherhand, was tasteless and completely unfunny.
I'd recommend that the reader of this review spend their money on Mr. Cohen's much funnier earlier works.

Dolce & Cabana.. Hello!!

Hilarious. It's not exactly tasteful or wholesome, but it had me in tears with laughter. 'Bruno' is not for the easily offended, and there's no shame in being a offended by this film. The film is full of crude gay humor with a copious amount male-nudity, that some argue perpetuates LGBT stereotypes and enlightens institutionalized homophobia issues. I think 'Bruno' mirrors perfectly the pervasiveness and vulgarity of 'heterosexual approved' comedies, and it brings out society's true colors when it comes to LGBT's. And I think people ought to lighten up a whole lot more.
It's an outlandish over-the-top satire with subtle themes dealing with yes, homophobia and homosexuality. It about everyone's need to follow their hearts and dreams, but at the same time it also explores the social and political controversy and the universal acceptance of homosexuality, in a very funny way. It's a post-coming-of-age, obscenely heart-warming, hopelessly uninspiring mock-biography.
Cohen is a master of his craft. In 'Bruno', he conducts interviews with respected figures and performs more than vulgar antics in random public while posing as the flamboyant Austrian fashion reporter, Bruno, who seems entirely unaware of his morally-unique perverted nature. Those he interviews ostensibly believe that the interviews are sincere and legitimate. The authenticity of his character and the reality of the movie, not only make the absolutely hilarious; it makes it shocking, brilliant and transcends the film into multiple genres.
I laughed a lot, but I'm not afraid to admit it was fairly tasteless and obscene.
I would not recommend this film to just anyone. If you're not sure of how you'll hold up to repeated viewings, than maybe you should rent it first.

The Worst Ever!
Added 11/21/2009
This is by far the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. No lie. What a waste of $3.99 for the rental. Save your money. ZERO stars!

Clearly shows where America is going.

If you were wondering what direction America is going, then take a look at this movie. This is the reason liberals should move to Canada.
