I saw a preview of Bruno a couple of weeks ago, it's alright. It's the same as Borat, but not as funny. The scenes that are set ups seem more obvious than Borat. There's also a scene where he interviews Latoya Jackson and they use Mexicans as furniture to sit on and to eat sushi off, while he asks about Michael and tries to get his phone number out of her Blackberry. Funnily enough that’s been cut from the final version, and if the big close up of a swinging erection makes it in then it'll surely have to be an 18 rating…

The premiere here was funny as a fake Bruno fooled security by turning up in a pink stretch hummer and driving onto the red carpet. He got out with dancers and backing performers and using a megaphone started banging on about Peri-Peri chicken whilst the lasses in shorts danced about and covered themselves in the sauce (video link here). He got bundled away by security sharpish, but it'll be high fives and cigars all round at the Nando's ad agency. There's a quote from one of them saying he was surprised no one had done anything similar at the previous premieres.
