Did You See "Bruno?" Post Your Review Now

Bruno Controversy has surrounded Sacha Baron Cohen's new "gay" film "Bruno" ever since it went into production.

In the past few weeks, gay groups have become vocal, calling the film "homophobic" amongst other things.

Well, "Bruno" has now hit the theaters and we want to know what gay audiences think. Did you find it homophobic? Or was the hype overblown? Post your review in the comments section below.

I thought it was just a bad film. It was as if he took Borat and replaced everything "foreign" with "gay". The jokes really weren't funny, the reactions from the supposedly "real" characters weren't nearly as funny as in Borat, I mean, come on, was there anything as funny as the dinner party scene when Borat was trying to find a place to throw away his poop?

I thought it was freaking hilarious. I think through using stereotypes about gay people, it really addressed homophobia and slammed it into bigoted faces with a vengeance. I think he did the gay community a service with this film. Maybe we, the gay community, needs to pull our heads out of our proverbial a$$hole, and laugh at ourselves and how great and diverse we are.

Its called comedy, and comedy is about breaking bounderys and if you can't laugh at gay jokes and you take them to heart then your life will suck.

This movie gave us gay guys a bad name its already bad enough the way that most straight guys think of us as it is but over all it was kinda funny but mostly stupid haha

i did not want to waste my time with this annoying embarrasing person

By Lampooning us as gay men, Bruno has proven we have matured in the minds of the entire community, that we are not precious and we are not invisible. The movie was at times dull, but certain parts were simply iconic and therefore hillarious. I dont think its worth seeing if you cant laugh at yourself.
