Sacha Baron Cohen: Bruno Tanks!

Sacha Baron Cohen rides atop a bedazzled army tank at the premiere of his latest comedy, Bruno, held at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Thursday (June 25) in Los Angeles. Here are some early reviews for the movie:

THR: Bruno is only intermittently funny and all too often the “ambushes” of celebrities and civilians look staged. The movie is even a tad — dare we say it? — tedious.

Variety: There are 61 laughs, three dildos, one gyrating, talking penis, an anal bleaching and one very pissed-off politician in Bruno, which should be enough to make any movie fly… Undeniably funny, outrageous and boundary-pushing, this further documentation of Sacha Baron Cohen’s sheer nerve will draw an abundant share of Borat fans, gross-out seekers and the culturally curious, making for some potent B.O. figures, at least at first.

20+ pictures inside of Sacha Baron Cohen tanking…

He is a genius - and all of the comments made by some sissy b**ches above are irrelevant. Sasha Baron Cohen is - hands down - the funniest comedian to date. I have never seen such commitment to a fictitious character. He is 1000% dedicated to his craft of acting. Cannot wait until the July 10th - “Bruno ist coming”, mother-f***ers!

to llia……….

If you think Bruno is a genius you must have early-onset dementia plus a host of personality disorders.

Truly your taste is sub-human and raunchy.

This is so old, its not even funny anymore. Even the reviews for this movie are not good. People know the joke, so his comedy has lost some of its “appeal”.

I don’t find the humor in him or his movies. Just another wannabe trying to make a buck off of a horny immature redneck following.

y #16, you are right on. I see no humor in putting others down. I didn’t find Don Rickles funny for the same reason, and SBC is a gross, even more immature version.

@sudcoree4: Don Rickles? Holy crap, what’s he like 90 now? Anyhow, I will probably end up seeing this film one way or another, but I will have to be prepared. That Borat film nearly killed me :). I laughed until I couldn’t take it anymore.
