'Brüno' web reviews

Vassup! Sacha Baron Cohen returns to the big screen with "Brüno," about a gay Austrian fashionista who travels to Los Angeles to become the world's biggest star. Now, here's what some of the Web's critics have to say about the flick:

• Josh Tyler at CinemaBlend: "Though it’s missing all the relevance and subtly of 'Borat' some of the laughs are still there and so is much of the uncomfortable silence in which ordinary people are confronted with Cohen’s bizarre behavior."

• Joblo's JimmyO: "So yeah, 'Bruno' is outrageous, sick and offensive but pretty damn hilarious."

• Landon Palmer at FilmSchoolRejects: "Will 'Bruno' make you laugh throughout? Probably. Will moments of it shock and appall you? Most likely."

• Brian Orndorf at brianorndorf.com: "'Bruno' contains plenty of belly laughs, audible gasps, and provides a sly refresher on obscene civilian prejudice, drilling to the cancerous heart of intolerance one laugh at a time."

• LatinoReview's George 'El Guapo' Roush: "Power bottom line - go see it if you liked Borat. You'll laugh, but you'll realize that Bruno's shtick starts getting old halfway into the movie."

• Collider's Matt Goldberg: "Despite revolving around a character whose only interests are fame and homosexuality, 'Brüno' has very little to say about either and puts more work into the gross-out gag and uncomfortable situations than making a point."
