If the movie's as funny as that clip, we're in for epic failure.

Borat was a funny character (in an wildy overpraised movie) but a character not seen before. The character felt new and original.
On TV I can see characters like Bruno on a regular basis and have been able to for years. But even more than that, I can see the real thing played straight on entertainment and fashion shows every night and weekend.
Why pay for Bruno when I can just watch Perez Hilton? Is there really a difference? I can watch Fashion File or any number of reality shows and see this "type" for real.
Bruno seems very behind the curve. Craig Ferguson in The Big Tease (a wildly underrated film) is much more funny becasue he does not play the exact stereotype.
Just my two cents.

Bruno is the #1 movie I want to see this summer... it's ahead of the curve, not behind it.
The Hangover is another one I want to see.

Nicol - Are you talking about the actual character Borat, or do you mean that type of character as a star of a movie? Because Borat was a well established character years before the film was released. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's never been a mainstream film with a star character like Bruno. But again, it was never really about Borat, and it's not going to be about Bruno, but what these characters get out of the real people that are shown in the film.
