My 'Bruno' review.



(courtesy Universal Pictures)

Hola, que tal and como se va.

One of the small perks of shoveling coffee at my unnamed, but still crappy coffeehouse franchise is that occasionally I can get free movie tickets. To give you a hint, we're where Universal UMG is on 8th Avenue.

Anyhoo peoples, this 'cub' reporter got front row seats to the latest blockbuster extravaganza (and no, we're not talking lost footage from Michael Jackson's film debut in "The Wiz"). It's BRUNO! The latest from Sacha Baron Cohen, the wacky Brit who created that other infamous (and very creepy) character 'BORAT'. Well...this one is other creepy character; a flamboyantly gay fashionista who fancies himself too chic and too hip for the other fashionistas of the world. Pfffft! Yeah sure!

At any rate, if you're expecting any tameness from Cohen...guess the f*ck again! In the same anarchic spirit of BORAT, Cohen again assaults his audience with his hilarious, if strange, kamikaze and controversial style of comedy. No target is sacred, no joke safe, and no celebrity unharmed. Well, from reports I heard, he cut out what could've been a very offensive MJ joke when he was interviewing his sister, La Toya. Bravo...but it could've still been funny.

Cohen (who is actually straight and married to 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' cutie, Isla Fisher) is smart comic and knows which targets will generate the most laughs. He goes after reality shows, celebrity adoptions, gay adoptions, Southern redneck homophobes, gay-to-straight converts and even gay marraige in Cali. The best part is...it is SO GODDAMN F*CKING FUNNY!!!

It comes out July 10th, and by the way...no penis is safe...neither is the late 'Milli' from Milli Vanilli.
