Critics Consensus

Crude and offensive, but with ample cultural insights and gut-busting laughs, Bruno is another outlandish and entertaining mockumentary from Sacha Baron Cohen.

Well, when it's funny, it is funny, but it is only intermittently funny... What I'm saying, I think, is that the joke has worn thin.

Baron Cohen is, without doubt, the ballsiest comic of his generation-and one of the brightest. But it's hard to imagine him taking the guerrilla shock tactics of Borat and Brüno any further.

I don't know if there are any comedians working today as fully dedicated to a joke as Sacha Baron Cohen.

3/4

Funny how Brüno, the latest cinematic incarnation inspired by a character from Sacha Baron Cohen’s Da Ali G Show, proves to be daring, topical, and so revealing about American society, while also being so crude, outrageous, and shocking.

For those fearing that fame may have dulled Baron Cohen's edge, I can tell you it hasn't.

7/10

This second outing of in-your-face raunchiness is less unexpected as it is simply extreme.

Agora eu sei que fazemos coisas absurdas pelo nosso sonho. E o que posso dizer? Absurdo! Brüno tem um humor completamente caótico que, de alguma forma, conseguiu me conquistar. Não é um filme cinco estrelas, mas sua trama rápida me envolveu o suficiente para me deixar curioso sobre qual seria a próxima loucura que o protagonista faria para alcançar seus objetivos. Os personagens não foram tão marcantes para mim, mas renderam boas risadas. Acho que merece mais reconhecimento pelo seu humor tão peculiar. Brüno acabou me marcando muito, e sinto que esse personagem vai permanecer na minha memória por bastante tempo. Gosto da maneira como ele enxerga o mundo e continua correndo atrás do que deseja, mesmo quando as coisas não saem como esperado. Sinceramente, uma das minhas risadas mais inesperadas veio desse filme. E aquela cena final no ringue? SIMPLESMENTE aquele final me tirou a risada mais sem sentido do mundo.

A bold, shocking and uneven follow-up, with a handful of brilliant set pieces and a lot of padding in between.

Brüno is a decent mockumentary that fully commits to its outrageous style of comedy. It follows the titular Austrian fashion reporter as he travels around pushing boundaries, and the film leans heavily into shock humor and cringe-driven satire. While not every joke lands, and some segments feel intentionally uncomfortable for the sake of it, there’s no denying the commitment to the character and the improvised chaos that drives the film. What works best is the way it satirizes celebrity culture and media obsession, often putting real reactions at the center of absurd situations. However, the humor can be very hit-or-miss depending on your tolerance for provocative and over-the-top setups. Overall, Brüno is uneven but still entertaining in parts, especially if you’re a fan of mockumentary-style comedy that pushes boundaries. Not for everyone, but it has enough moments to earn a 6/10.
