3.5 stars out of 4 -- "Baron Cohen is the pure, untamed id of movie comedy....The hilarity is stratospherically hilarious, producing gags that pull you up short." Peter Travers

| Box Office |
3 stars out of 5 -- "It's gross, offensive and puerile in equal measure -- but it is impossible not to laugh while you wince and recoil." Richard Mowe

| Variety |
"Undeniably funny, outrageous and boundary-pushing...further documentation of Sacha Baron Cohen's sheer nerve..." Todd McCarthy
(26th Jun, 2009)

| Chicago Sun-Times |
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "A no-holds-barred comedy....Here is a film that is 82 minutes long and doesn't contain 30 boring seconds." Roger Ebert

3 stars out of 5 -- "BRUNO is funny, filthy and lands a few sharp punches....The writing is tight..." Andy Lowe

| Entertainment Weekly |
"A crazier, funnier, and even pricklier pincushion of a movie than BORAT....BRUNO ends on a note of scandalously funny out-and-proud triumph..." -- Grade: A- Owen Gleiberman
(17th Jul, 2009)

| Los Angeles Times |
"Like a wayward love child of Lenny Bruce and the Three Stooges, Bruno is an idiot savant of penetration -- breaking through borders, boundaries and anything that resembles good taste on his way to whipping up as much cultural anarchy as he can." Betsy Sharkey
(9th Jul, 2009)

| USA Today |
3 stars out of 4 -- "The shock factor is undeniable....You'll cringe and watch through splayed fingers, but mostly you'll laugh." Claudia Puig
(10th Jul, 2009)

| A.V. Club |
"BRUNO brings an exhilarating element of danger back to comedy....Cohen's retained the power to shock, offend, provoke, unsettle, and most importantly, entertain a jaded, desensitized public." Nathan Rabin
(9th Jul, 2009)
|
| Wall Street Journal |
"It's an exercise in offensiveness, an exploration of over-the-topness and a gleeful working of both sides of the street, with sporadic frolics in the gutter."
(10th Jul, 2009)

| Movieline |
"Quite funny....A succession of skits, gags, episodes and stunts..." Zinat S.
