there are only so many "gay" jokes to be made before it just gets redundant -- which was about 5 minutes in.
Bruno is just not as good a character as Borat. secondly, they shot the first 2/3 of the movie as an actual movie -- multiple cameras in staged close-ups, careful framing, elaborate sets. that basically kills the entire premise of Cohen's act, making it just a story about a obscene character.
the last half hour where he interacts with the deep south was redeeming -- the reactions and shooting seemed more real -- but not enough to make this worth anymore than a rental.
