Cohen's first project, Borat, was a film that was the news of my high school for a week or so. A strange film about a guy from Kazakhstan coming to America to make a documentary. A film that many seemed to love or hate (me with the former), I was not sure what to expect from Bruno. What I got was another hilarious film, which might have been a little more funny due to the fact I was a little buzzed. A gay guy from Australia looking to make it big in America, the film contained the same amount of stupid humour, male genitalia, and controversial topics as Borat, and watching the life of someone who tries to fit into American culture, and sticks out so much, is extremely entertaining for me. If you are a fan of said humour mentioned above, give Bruno a shot. I also look forward to The Dictator, Cohen's next project.
Borat wasn't his first project. He actually had a two season television show that aired on Channel 4 and HBO called Da Ali G Show. It introduced Borat, Bruno, and his original character, Ali G. There is also an Ali G movie called Indahouse. I've never seen Indahouse, but fans of Borat or Bruno would most likely love the show.
