    Storyline

    Edit
    Brüno is a gay Austrian fashion guru. He has his own fashion based television show, Funkyzeit, the most popular German-language show of its kind outside of Germany. After he disgraces himself in front of his Funkyzeit fan base, he is ruined in German speaking Europe. He decides that in his quest for worldwide fame, he will move to Los Angeles and reinvent himself. Accompanying him to the US is Lutz, his former assistant's assistant. Lutz is the only person left in his circle that still believes in Brüno's greatness. Brüno goes through one reinvention of himself after another, ultimately straying to areas far removed from his own self. Perhaps when Brüno finds an activity that he truly does love, he will also find that über-fame he so desperately desires. —Huggo

    • Goofs
      In the diner scene where Brüno commits "carbicide" the exterior light goes from night to day then back to night.

    Piero Is A Christian Loser
    Well this is not as good as Borat, but it is funny and definitely makes most audience members squirm.

    Making people uncomfortable has been Ali G's specialty and he does a great job of it here. In that sense, we laugh at the film and laugh at the audience we know is squirming.
