Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   B- Source Brief Review Grade* Boston Globe Wesley Morris "Sacha Baron Cohen ramps up the confrontation, not the comedy." more... C   Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "The needle on my internal Laugh Meter went haywire, bouncing among hilarity, appreciation, shock, admiration, disgust, disbelief and appalled incredulity." more... A- Chicago Tribune Matt Pais "Sacha Baron Cohen again does anything for a laugh--even if it means missing the point." more... B- E! Online Natasha Vargas-Cooper "...the groans often drown out the giggles." more... B- Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman "...a crazier, funnier, and even pricklier pincushion of a movie than Borat..." more... A- Filmcritic.com Norm Schrager "With his previous work, Baron Cohen has already proven he's a lot smarter than this." more... C   Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt "Sacha Baron Cohen might have gone to the well once too often." more... C+ Los Angeles Times Betsy Sharkey "...it often seems with Baron Cohen that we're only getting the first half of the joke." more... B- New York Post Lou Lumenick "For all the laughs -- and they are many -- there's a certain been-there, done-that feeling..." more... B   New York Times A.O. Scott "What Bruno tries hardest to be, and fails most significantly to become, is a sendup of the empty vanity of celebrity culture." more... C+ Reelviews James Berardinelli "This is a worthy successor to Borat and employs the similar tactic of exploiting the stupidity, ignorance, and prejudice of Americans as a form of satire and social commentary." more... B   Rolling Stone Peter Travers "You'll hoot and holler as it strips down its targets and sticks it to them, hardcore." more... A- San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "The bad outweighs the good and the cringes outnumber the laughs..." more... D+ USA Today Claudia Puig "Though the humor is sometimes hilarious and sometimes inane, the shock factor is undeniable." more... B   * Yahoo!
