More scripted than Borat, more obvious, more shocking, more gratuitous, more cock. I am surprised they dodged an NC-17 rating.
From Israel-Palestinian relations to MMA, Brüno shows us our basic stupidity and that a dick is the most dangerous and subversive thing to show on a movie screen (for the audience I was in at least).
People walked out of the theater during the film. Others bitched and moaned afterward.
Great moments, hilarious. The more scripted bits are little slow and tedious, but the film is more than worth the price of admission if just for the adopted African child bit.
Waaayy better than Hangover.
EDIT: Oh yeah, turn out was much sparser than I thought it would be considering the success of Borat.

First show was sold out, had to see the last one, which had lines forming 30 minutes early.
Funny, I laughed, but I'll never watch it again. Made Borat scene with balls in his mouth look tame by comparison. Too many penises, too much shock value. I see why Norman liked it.
Nowhere near as funny as The Hangover. Not nearly as much laughter in the audience.

One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

Here, even with a shitload of turks/arabs in the cinema, the audience was roaring almost thorughout the whole film...

Now look. I've eaten a pice of pie.
When we spin the pie again, the area cut out of the volume of the sphere equals fitness.

Bunch of turks and arabs here... more turks though.
Which is okay. I'm fluent in turkish and have lived there a couple fo years, so it's not so estranging to me really...
Some of the "german" they're talking in the movie is compelte gibberish though... sounds funnier though.

The German in the movie does add a bit to the comedy. I wondered what the reaction would be in the German-speaking-countries.

Re: Brüno
Almost everybody thought it was funny. I live in a big citty though, so mentality will likely differ when going to a cinema in some ass-backwards bavarian village or such.
