I'm also shaking my head. Absolutely awful film in my opinion. It tries to shock instead of being funny and fails at both. 'Borat' was excellent but 'Bruno' is absolute junk.....
By the way, I am off to see 'Where The Wild Things Are' today so I'll hopefully be recommending it later on.
Since when have VTers had a problem with shock comedy? Have you seen the 'WAHEY it's joke thread"?
Anyway I don't think that is the whole purpose of the film, he obviously has to push the boundaries to get the desired reaction, but it is the ignorant way the people bite and react to what he does that truly makes it funny.
