I guess that I am missing the point but WHAT was exactly funny in this movie? While Borat had an offensive sense of humor, yet there was a lot of humor in the first place. It did offer politically incorrect clichés about various cultural groups but still, it managed to create diverse spontaneously entertaining situations. And I emphasize SPONTANEOUS. There is very little of it in Brueno where everything is clearly staged and manipulated. The two successful "sketches" were the Paula Abdul interview and the baby-casting; I presume all parents should be arrested by now unless everything has been deliberately mixed up in the cutting and they were actually answering different questions (I would not be surprised). All the rest is just a collection of irritating moments. I am not really sure what precise human weakness(es) was/were made fun of??? Perhaps the love for reality shows and the tendency among modern people - from politicians to hunters, to swinger-party aficionados - to appear all-too-willingly on the camera without inquiring beforehand who the host/anchor/reporter/negotiator is. That is actually not funny, it is just an irritating way of making reality shows even more abominable. Who really needs that except for Baron Sascha Cohen himself???
