Brüno
Move over Borat, Brüno is here to punk the world. Is it reality entertainment at its best or worst? Sacha spoofs the unsuspecting with his gay Austrian fashionista impersonation told in a faux biopic documentary. The movie has its funny moments and its pornographic ones too. Maybe Alien has become immuned to Sacha's silly shock satire because I became rather bored with Brüno's repetitive antics. However, I'm still impressed with Sacha's selling of his characters so convincingly real as he cleverly pokes fun at the American people (not to mention the other things that get poked in the film). Look for a few celebrity cameos. Definitely, it is not everyone's cup of tea.
Alien gives it 1 ½ "outlandish, outrageous, and offensive" stars out of 4.
