Sacha Baron Cohen's 'Brüno' receives NC-17
I hate the MPAA. You want to know why? Because they have no clue how to properly rate movies. There, I said it. Anyway, the MPAA wants to protect kids across America, and bla bla bla...
Okay, seriously now. The Wrap reports the folks at the MPAA have slapped Sacha Baron Cohen's latest stunt "Brüno" with an NC-17 rating. Yes yes, Cohen is a baaaaaad boy.
Here's what the Wrap says caused the mean rating: "Among the objectionable scenes is one in which Bruno -- a gay Austrian fashionista played by Baron Cohen -- appears to have anal sex with a man on camera.
"In another, the actor goes on a hunting trip and sneaks naked into the tent of one of the fellow hunters, an unsuspecting non-actor."
Well, this was only the first submission of the film to the MPAA, which means there's plenty of time to make some cuts, edit some scenes and make everybody happy. Universal is obviously trying to snatch a R rating before the film opens in theaters July 10.
Much like “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan,” Cohen's "Brüno" follows one of his eccentric characters on his quest to trick people into believing he’s real. He plays an Austrian fashionista who comes to America to interview famous people.
