Bruno with his adopted African baby, OJ.
Saw an advanced screening of Bruno, became scarred for life. A little too much genitalia for my liking. But Sacha Baron Cohen is scarily believable as Bruno, and the situations they came up with are freakin' off-the-wall ridiculous. Funny, yes, but the kind of funny that makes you wince. (The movie has so many painfully uncomfortable/ awkward/ OMG moments that it actually hurts to sit through it.) But it definitely makes a point of revealing the absurdity of a lot of stereotypes, so I guess it has good intentions. They're just... thoroughly masked.
