    Here’s the bad news: Brüno is no "Borat." Here’s the worse news: Brüno crosses the line, like a besotted sprinter, from hilariously to genuinely awful.

    The New York Times A.O. Scott

    In spite of Mr. Baron Cohen and Mr. Charles's high-level skills and keen low-comic instincts, Brno is a lazy piece of work that panders more than it provokes.

    The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt

    Bruno is only intermittently funny and all too often the "ambushes" of celebrities and civilians look staged. The movie is even a tad -- dare we say it? -- tedious.

    Like a wayward love child of Lenny Bruce and the Three Stooges, Brno is an idiot savant of penetration -- breaking through borders, boundaries and anything that resembles good taste on his way to whipping up as much cultural anarchy as he can. I would guess Brno is holding on to an R rating for this sublimely spicy souffl by the skin of his, well, let's just not say.

    Brno offers more shock value for your moviegoing dollar than any other movie this year.

    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    A no-holds-barred comedy permitting several holds I had not dreamed of. The needle on my internal Laugh Meter went haywire, bouncing among hilarity, appreciation, shock, admiration, disgust, disbelief and appalled incredulity.

    Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman

    The movie is a toxic dart aimed at the spangly new heart of American hypocrisy: our fake-tolerant, fake-charitable, fake-liberated-yet-still madly-closeted fame culture.
