Even though I found the original short skits of Bruno from the Ali G show to be hilarious if not watchable, the feature length film is rather disappointing. Much of the film is unfunny, not because of the gay content but because the jokes and humour are lame. Supporters of Sasha Baron Cohen and people profiting from the film claim that people didn't like the film because of its offensiveness however it was quite contrary, I don't mind offensive material, it's just that the scenes were so outrageous that it was unbelievable hence unfunny. Sasha Baron Cohen tries to evoke reactions from bystanders and other victims however most of them couldn't care less that he is trying to get a reaction due to the general narcissism and apathy prevalent in modern day society.
Despite the media hype and my expectations, Bruno was a very boring, unfunny and disappointing film.
