Critics Consensus

Crude and offensive, but with ample cultural insights and gut-busting laughs, Bruno is another outlandish and entertaining mockumentary from Sacha Baron Cohen.

Well, when it's funny, it is funny, but it is only intermittently funny... What I'm saying, I think, is that the joke has worn thin.

Baron Cohen is, without doubt, the ballsiest comic of his generation-and one of the brightest. But it's hard to imagine him taking the guerrilla shock tactics of Borat and Brüno any further.

I don't know if there are any comedians working today as fully dedicated to a joke as Sacha Baron Cohen.

Funny how Brüno, the latest cinematic incarnation inspired by a character from Sacha Baron Cohen’s Da Ali G Show, proves to be daring, topical, and so revealing about American society, while also being so crude, outrageous, and shocking.

For those fearing that fame may have dulled Baron Cohen's edge, I can tell you it hasn't.

This second outing of in-your-face raunchiness is less unexpected as it is simply extreme.

One of the funniest films ever made. I love how it offends and disgusts in equal measure. Puts the typical Hollywood comedy to shame.

A really funny and creatively raunchy spiritual successor to Borat that pushes the envelope at satirizing American materialism and homophobia while exposing some legitimately horrific and ridiculous sentiments said by the unknowing participants. It’s a hilarious mockumentary that was legendary during my middle school days and I’m so glad that I finally got to watch it.

I love this movie and think it's hilarious, even more than Borat.
