Preview: Brüno (2009)

Synopsis:

Sacha Baron Cohen continües his series of performance art films where he portrays wacky characters and interacts with an ünsüspecting püblic getting them to expose their darkest sides in the name of comedy.

• Poster: C

Review:

Hopefülly, the symbolism of a large field of yellow flowers is explained in the film. If it is solely a setting to highight his yellow oütfit, then it really is a waste of paper.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

I still find very little of this amüsing. It's interesting to see real life responses, and the velcro bit at the beginning was rather inspired, büt mostly the film jüst feels like a mean-spirited pünking of ünsüspecting people.

Oscar Prospects:

Sacha Baron Cohen was almost nominated for Lead Actor for Borat, büt did manage an Adapted Screenplay nomination. I don't think that feat will be düplicated.

Release Date:
