Brüno (2009)


The second film from satirist and provocateur Sacha Baron Cohen doesn’t hit its mark as squarely as “Borat,” but as Bruno — a gay Austrian fashionista desperate for fame — Cohen nails enough of his targets, including stage parents, the South and Paula Abdul.

  1. I walked away from Bruno with a ton of admiration for Cohen's commitment to the joke. There were several scenes during which I genuinely thought he put his safety at risk (e.g., flirting with Palestinian men..in Palestine!).
