Brüno

Bitterly disappointing - Cohen has stooped lower than is humanly possible.

Do not compare this with the fine Borat - Bruno is a cheap, nihilistic parody that will damage much more than it will entertain.

Does it have funny moments? That depends on your sense of humour and on whether you like to see comedy as a staged event.

Kids, undoubtedly, will find this hilarious - for all the wrong reasons.

But...most will be alienated - those who already are homophobic will have all their fears justified and that will, in itself, set equality issues back by years.

This may sound overly dramatic but Bruno is overly offensive - especially to gay people and Europeans (Austrians in particular).

The humour here is not clever - it is a vehicle to shock - and, those easily shocked, those blinkered conservatives will simply shake their heads saying: I told you so.

Cohen is uber destructive here and that is simply not acceptable.

Hang your head in shame - as for Elton, Sting & Bono - what the fuck were you all thinking???
