J.D. makes a triumphant return to Scene-Stealers in this review of Sacha Baron Cohen’s button-pushing reality-based prank satire “Brüno.” In the same vein as “Borat,” the surprise comedy smash from 2006, “Brüno” follows a strange foreigner to U.S. soil. Larry Charles directed this rude, obnoxious, and terribly offensive comedy. Is Bruno as funny as Borat? Does the same formulas strike lightning twice? Is it too familiar? How much farther does Bruno go than Borat did? Find out now. Also, find out why Cohen won’t do “Brüno” or “Borat” again and read hilarious excerpts from a “parental review” site that warns parents about explicit content.
