Mockümentary

Friday night, we caught a late showing of "Brüno" at Destinta Theaters in Bridgeville, PA.

"Brüno" is the latest gotcha comedy or "mockumentary" from Sacha Baron Cohen, the creator of "Borat."

The film was offensive and shocking, especially the Ron Paul scene. But, admittedly, I laughed a lot -- although probably not $9.50 worth of laughs.

I just was not as interested in the outcome of Brüno's travels and trials as much as I was in Borat's American adventure.

Even if you're a fan of Sacha Baron Cohen, "Brüno" can wait for Netflix.

As of this writing, "Brüno" has a 69 percent rating at Rotten Tomatoes.

Glad to hear you're back in the Burgh, Paul. I definitely want to see Bruno, but I'll take your advice and wait until it hits the rental shelves.
