Bruno (2009) starring Sacha Baron Cohen. As a flamboyantly gay Austrian TV star, Bruno (Cohen) tries to stir up trouble with the people he interviews. After failing in Europe, he comes to Los Angeles to "become a celebrity." In the process, he tries to make fools of real celebrities, with mixed results. I felt conflicted while watching this movie -- like, did I really think it was funny, or was it just offensive? There are a number of raunchy sex scenes, and the film required strategically placed black boxes to escape with an R rating. I thought the movie was just awful, yet it did provide a few laugh-out-loud moments for me. Not quite a worthy follow-up to Cohen's "Borat," but still worth seeing. Grade: B-
