  • Philips is a brilliant reviewer.. too bad people who watch his reviews are morons who just wants the reviewer to agree with them, why watch a movie reviewer give their opinion when all you want them do is mirror what you think and feel, idiots.!! ugghh

  • all of that is staged i mean what kind of drill instructor or any other person can not see the camera film crew in front of them

  • english humor at its best........

  • bruno was awful.. i walked out the cinema for a refund. i thought it was gona be funny... i used to enjoy very much his cameos on the ali g show, and actually thought it was one of his funnier parts. having watched the trailer, i really hyped this movie up in my mind, but WTF its just gay porno. absolutely horrid movie. if you thought it was a good movie and funny, then you need your head examined. borat, although different, was much much better.

  • I agree that Borat was a lot funnier than Bruno, but I would have given Bruno more than 2 stars (is that out of 5?). I'd say about a 3.5 / 5 for Bruno, probably a point higher for Borat.

  • 4 th movie not tht bullshit review...

  • 4 *

  • We all want to save money but there are ways that few people know about. Some are really fun rather than the problem of always trying to get money off food. I found a really great way to get massive discounts off all sorts of items.

  • shut the fuck up mock pussy

  • This reporter is as stupid as the americans Bruno met in the US!

  • Michael Philips apparently expected a storyline. he doesn't understand that the LAST thing this movie is about, is the actual story. and he calls himself a professional reviewer.

  • GAY

  • WHAT!? I laughed 5 times more with Bruno than with Borat! 5 STARS! ***** XD HILARIOUS FILM!!!!

  • I laughed pretty dam hard at Bruno it was good besides all the dicks it should get a better rating

  • this guy is a total prick

  • I bet this guy rated a crappy film like Juno 4 stars. Stupid dick.

  • bruno, like borat wasnt a film to exploit americans, the only reason sacha baron cohen did the films in the u.s was because the characters were too well known in the uk

  • Bruno was fucking hillarious, if people dont get it cause it was "Too gay" or watever, then congratulations for missing the entire point!!

    The whole purpose of the movie was to expose everyones own prejudices and it was hillarious!

  • i have not seen the movie but i saw the baby swap clip on youtube i have not laughed as much for a long time for this clip alone it should get 5 stars

  • This guy is worst than cancer for giving bruno 2stars

  • are you serious? you can't compare them, theyre two different movies, which were both great.

  • the movie was great

  • Bring back Gene Siskel!

    Reanimate him if you must.

  • Bruno simply failed for me because it exposed gay sterotypes that people have by acting out those sterotypes. People don't realize they're ignorant because they are seeing their misconceptions confirmed. The movie is also just different variations of the same old tired gay jokes.

  • If you are saying it is shit because it is full of gay jokes then the jokes on you...

    Its like saying you hated borat because it had a foreigner in it

  • yes, sasha beats you americans hahahahahaha

  • this movie was total shit...

  • why bother to do review for this movie?

  • your a moron

  • @northwestbrett

    YOU'RE someone who can't type and therefor are closer to a moron sir.

  • @scruga well your just a moron.

  • @northwestbrett but you still can't type which makes you more of a moron :3

  • @scruga well you type to much.

  • @northwestbrett too much is still better than incorrect. Because if it's incorrect it's always too much!

  • though bruno was funny i think borat was much better. idk what it was i just felt like borat had more to smile at while bruno was just sort of embarrassing.

  • i don't agree at all with Your review.

    i laughed my ass off when i saw this movie. and i think it makes a great statement.

  • Your review is terrible. Prejudice toward homosexuals is an even greater societal problem (at least in USA) than prejudice towards Jews and other groups (e.g. women). Bruno is PURE GENIUS. Cohen is absolutely incredible.

  • Bruno was hilarious!!

  • bullshit

    bruno was funny

    5 stars

  • shut up bitch

  • I loved Borat but I'll never again watch Bruno. It' was outrageous, disturbing, and shocking like seeing a talking penis hole. The character of Bruno is despicable not because he is gay but because he is so self-centered and striving to be shocking like pulling a real baby out of a box that's just been dropped onto the luggage terminal. If that's funny to you then you'll love the movie.

  • this is the funniest movie i have seen EVER i loved it.

  • am just sad for these moms and dads who said that their kids are ready and comfortable for any thing just look at their eyes and you will se the sadness look

  • Comment removed

  • and whats that for

  • 5 STARS NOT 2 YOU IGNORANT F**K!!

  • THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!

    brüno was the best movie I have EVER seen!!

    borat was just stupid, inappropriate and boring.

    this dickhead can't even pronounce lutz!!

  • u must be gay

  • aged clueless reviewer!

    why compare it to borat,its a completely different flick.

    bruno was a very very funny movie.

    michael phillips is ober shit!

    VASSUP WATEVAR!

    5*****

  • Bruno had no premise, it was nothing but gay jokes, there were funny parts of course but there was nothing clever or new about it

  • TWO STARS?! that movie was awesome! D:

  • Comment removed

  • Maybe the film brought the "gay" out of this reviewer, he wasnt comfortable watching it, hence the 2 stars. Champagne review haha And whats wrong with anal bleaching..name another hollywood comedy that put that into their storyline.

    Class film.

  • i liked the movie bruno but id have to say borat and ali g were much funnier bruno was funny but not even close to funny as borat

  • He just doesnt like it because theyre making fun of fags like him

  • .two stars?!?

  • tv nerd

  • psst, Im 14, saw that movie..was disturbed. But me and my friends thought it was so funny were seeing it again. two stars my ass =)

  • Michael Phillips is a thin necked liberal duche with weak chin and a politically correct sense of humor that he's acquired during his long purposeless life in the suburbs with no risk involved.

    So, MP stay in the neutral zone and go choke your chicken because that is all you are worth doing you closet pervert.

    I'll bet you jerk off to little boys. I'll fucking bet.

  • Comment removed

  • i watched this in the movies and i will give it 4/5 stars, laughed my ass off

  • Borat is a really funny movie that had great social commentary, but in Bruno it's funny MOST of the time. I think Sacha Baron Cohen and Larry Charles' goal was to make Bruno just a fun movie- and it is but it's no social commentary- ANYONE would have reacted badly to what Bruno was doing.

  • I wouldn't give him even 1...

  • 2 starr??? I gave you 1 star...

  • The scene at Sears ( 1:04 ) with the sales man was not in the movie, I hope it is on the DVD.

  • Borat was much, MUCH funnier than this. There are so many parts in Bruno that are so obviously staged. Besides that, the Borat character had a lot more going for it than Bruno. The Borat character was able to be offensive, but it never seemed like it was his fault. The Bruno character is just a jerk and the movie just doesn't have to say much compared to Borat.

  • I haven't even seen the movie and I already know that the guy based this movie's rating off of his own opinion. I mean if borat was popular then this would have to be, even if the movie sucks everybody would go see it.

  • Pornos have less penis than Bruno. In fact, a few of my friends can no longer eat hot dogs without gagging first.

  • hoomus lol its so nice

  • I thought Bruno was awesome; not as good as Borat, but still a 9/10

  • That Michael Phillips supposed to get fired ,how can somebody without a sense of humor be a critic .

  • this film to me presents more social commentry than Borat, perhaps you have to look a little deeper mate

  • I thought the movie was very funny, I watched it sober. Next time I will have had a few shots.

  • This guy Sacha Cohen is really pushing it. A Queer camping with 3 hicks with shotguns and A Jewish comic lookn for Real Arab Terrorist in Lebanon He's lucky he's alive.

  • this guy is seriously an idiot i've been watching his reviews and he should be definently be fired

  • bruno was hilarious...

    dont listen to this guy, he doesnt know anything...

    5/5 :P

  • "Is your baby ok with lit phosphorus?"

    lol.

    What?! This was hilarious don't listen to him I would give this like 5 stars.

  • wat can u say,..ya the flick is just ridiculous...but man did i laugh my ass off !

  • Bees wasps or hornets...?!

  • this is the funniest movie ive ever seen haha

  • Bruno is way better than Borat

  • Bruno interviewed a friggin terrohist for comedians thats never been done before it was funny as hell

  • 5 stars for bruno he is gay funny and gay and even gayer

  • vaaapsup? eesh don't like the movie? you are an idiot. this movie is bruno. he took his bruno character and made a movie. what makes this a great movie is how he delivers his jokes verbally. the pita joke at the end of your clip proves that its a verbal comedy, not a "shocking" movie. Bruno has been around for 15 years, the world is just getting to know him now.

  • he swaped the baby for a ipod

  • People need to grow up. Not everyone is gunna like the same thing. I didnt like it. It had it's moments, but it wasn't that funny.

  • LOL, it's amazing to see people get SO ANGRY over a movie review. You people are completely ridiculous. Bruno is not nearly as good as Borat and this is a fair review.

  • homos and hamas ahhahahahah

  • All right I think you gave me him so much ? 2 starz ? Are you kidding me, he doesn't even deserve 2, give him 0.5 starz if available.

  • Bruno fucking sucked. Cohen did not make the same impact he did with Borat. I was highly dissappointed.

  • 2 stars for bruno, a hillarious outrageous shocking genius of a movie...... well 1 star for u.........

  • i agree

  • i respectfully disagree with micheal phillips.

  • Oh my god! All of you asses who start calling Phillips a retard, shut the fuck up. Everyone has different opinions. I for one really liked Bruno, but I'm not going and calling anyone a retard. I listened to his argument and I respectfully disagree. You guys should do the same.

  • i only watched this cause i thought it said michael phelps

  • lol i only have 1 contact in so i read it michael phelps too

  • 2 stars look awesome he a fucking prick for saying 2 stars

  • ye he not no what he talkin about

  • cohan is a genius

    michael phillips is a retard

  • There is nothing more hysterical than the Bruno in AliG. The thing Cohen had going for him was that he didnt uses actors in the Ali G show and Borat. In Bruno it is blatently obvious that he uses actors and not real people. Instead of exposing people for their crazy beliefs , Cohen just showed his penis to the camera and dumbed down his once unique comedy.

  • I think this film was hilarious but will have trouble cracking America

  • Dumb comedy can be put to witty use.

  • I thought some parts were funny...

    If you're offended by nudity I don't recommend seeing it. It's all shock and not too much wit.

  • Your stupid this movie was Hilarious

  • i agree , bruno was terible, it wasnt even overall funny ..i got to admit it sure had some parts that were funny,

    but the whole movie was just plain stupid and gay bruno wasnt funny like borat

    ill probebly give it one star and a half.

  • Obviously it was gay. Its about a gay guy. If your dont want to sound like a retard dont use gay as a degrading adjective.

  • (gay) thats what they were aiming for Retard

  • Oh and here is a reason why Bruno is just another gay joke movie and in contrast to Borat it shouldn't have been made seeing there was already a guerrilla style filmed movie with a fake reporter: Borat had a subtle reference to homophobia in America by showing that allot of people got

    really offensive when they got kissed on the cheek. There was also a scene were

    Borat talks to a cowboy about the fact that in "Kazakhstan" they hang

    Homosexuals and the Cowboy HI Fives him for that. BRUNO = MONEY

  • OK I can't contain this anymore and I have to say it: Bruno has bought the right from IMDB to keep a 9.4 rating by 5 votes. It's been like this for almost 5 days. You can call me paranoiac but the rating has been like this for some time and there have been no votes added, just 5. Were as the Half-Blood Prince votes have been pouring in this and last week. That makes you think of how desperate they want to sell this movie.

  • Mr phillips mamma stink!

  • i see where he is coming from while i totally disagree that there is not any biting social commentary in this film, because there is, it can at times get lost in some of the staged events and seeming dissjionted unity between the films two major themes: that of pardoy of both homophobia and celebrity culture. it was almost two different movies at times. I'd challenge Mr. Phillips to find anything in Borat that approached the subtext of Bruno's final scene.

  • u give bruno 2 stars, i give you 2 stars

  • lol me 2

  • micheal phillips is a burger f-uc-ker

    bruno was funny. this guy has no idea how to critique a movie, go f--k some burgers phillips

  • Bruno was hilariouss.

    When the penis was like spinning on the big screen I was like.

    OHMYLORDDD :D

    And then it talkedd.

    And I couldnt stop laughing.

    This movie has ALOOTTT OF nudityy.

    So if yew dont find that funny. Then dont watch it? ;D

    And if yew get offended easily then just dont watch it. Simple as that.

  • Everyone's a critic Michael Phillips! It's uber easy to be a critic, where's your film? Oh that's right you have none! You know what's fun? Watching a man spewing unintelligible verbal intimations characteristic of a cotton-mouth chipmunk with a cushingoid like appearance. That's delightful.  Oh BTW, a social commentary on substandard information: The Chicago Tribune! No wonder readership is down.

  • yeah when the dick screamed i laughed so hard

  • i was crying from the laughs when the dick yelled bruno!

  • other than you proving your idiocy by not being able to even structure a semi-cogent response, there are many flaws to your argument. first off who the fuck cares if he speaks a different language to his romanian extras? Borat doesn't speak a real language it is a vulgarized yiddish and some gibberish anyway. As for their exploitation, the fact they agreed for a ridiculously low wages and no specific knowledge of the finished movie only shows their lack of thought not cohen's malice.

  • im pulling two posts for this one. you say all movies 'spoof society'. what the fuck does that mean? borat revealed prejudices in america. is that spoofing society? im not sure but i do wonder if you understand what the word society means.. finally how can you agree with this review if you haven't seen the movie? you need to stfu when it comes to movies because you clearly cannot watch them critically. is that enough elaboration or is that too many big words?

  • Comment removed

  • I agree! I winced, in borat and still laughed, and i winced in bruno, but no laughter!

  • 2 stars?fuck you faggot!

  • i thought that this was a very fair review

  • wtf i went and watched bruno last night after watching this review..i do not know what the fuck you are on but this movie had me in tears full on rolling down my face for the whole time.. it was seriously funny.. if you wanna go watch a movie with a in depth story line do not watch this..if you want to laugh your fucken ass off....GO WATCH IT NOW!!

  • its true that bruno wasnt clever like borat was. but you cant deny the laughs. I was chokin.

  • 0:54 wasn't that crazy bitch not wearin anything cause when i saw bruno she showed everything and i mean everything

  • the could have added cloths on digitally, wouldnt rly surprise me

  • Bad review.

  • lmaoo true there was alot of parts but wtv

  • I laughed my ass off at bruno, but borat was a more likeable character, and bruno seems just a bit too staged. but very funny, I would give it 3*, and why is everyone outraged by this review, it what he thinks and what he thinks only he hasn't told you that you're wrong for likeing the movie, has he.

  • 2 stars for Bruno? 1 star for this shitty review

  • Terrible review.

  • this was a garbage review he only said why Borat was better but never said what was bad about this movie. He even pointed out the funny parts. This is a GARBAGE review.

  • Great review, I think I was one of the few people that only this year just saw Borat in July and I think I'll wait that much to see Bruno because there are other new and old movies that I would rather see. I mean who the hell who loves movies wouldn't choose to see a Clint Eastwood marathon or Steven Speilberg marathon than to loose time with this blatant copy of a mockumentary.

  • you sir are an idiot

  • Elaborate or you just like spewing random curse words. I give you one of the flaws that Borat had: his character spoke in one language whilst the villagers spoke another language. Now that's bad even for a spoof and if we are on the subject the guy exploited those uncultured villagers and made them look like savages and were underpaid. How would u like to be underpaid in a firm that makes millions on your account. Oh so it spoofs society, WHAT MOVIE DOESN'T, but this movie it's all that it does.

  • this movie was fkn hilariouis!

  • you know what, YOU SUCK

  • WHAT WHAt what .... Think this man is Satan ? anyone agree... BRUNO F*CKING ROCKS

  • Bruno was hilarious and shocking. I enjoyed it more than (what I recall of) Borat, because the Bruno character is more 'fun' in a way. Of course there's misanthropy here, but it's for a good cause.... Some of the scenarios are unbelievable. A couple gags run a bit long or fall a bit flat, but overall there's great entertainment and eye-opening value here. Watch my revue at the 'Gab and Dad' channel!

  • Bruno looks way funnier then Borat. Borat was totaly retarted.

  • lol 2 stars

  • Bruno is amazing

  • I hated "Borat." Maybe I'll like this one. :D

  • well borat hates you faggot

  • haha on ur own ya prick the movies great an extremely funny and pretty much all the other major critics are sayin also

  • Bad review, the film was fucking awsome!

  • 2 stars? l0l'd.
