True—horrifying Southern socialites by wielding a bag of your own feces at a dinner party might be a showstopper, but what to do for an encore? That's the dilemma facing Sacha Baron Cohen.
We will soon have that answer, as The Sun (who are reluctant to relinquish our fake title of Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America For The Purpose Of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable In The Presence Of A Gay Foreigner In A Mesh T-Shirt—the accidental hoax that's now the star of its own IMDb trivia bullet!) reports that Universal's $42 million gamble has begun test screening for select U.S. audiences.
In addition to meeting Cohen's well-known Austrian fashionista ("That handbag? Strrraight to Auschwitz!"), and the Yes on 8-rally crashing ex-gay Straight Dave, Cohen plays Jesus, a messianic supermodel in Louis Vuitton-patterned loincloth, Phillip Treacy crown of thorns, and—drumroll—blackface.
We ask you: Are you not shocked? What if we tell you that in addition to that, like LV spokesvagina and frequent Jesus-buggering superstar Madonna (who put Cohen in her "Music" video), Bruno adopts an African orphan and names him David.
Let's put our interest-level at cautiously piqued. Like Borat-loving film critics Rinku and Dinesh, we also "not believing this movie good funny," only to later find ourselves giggling uncontrollably as Cohen willingly subjects himself to a stiletto-assisted palm-nailing sequence achieved without the use of makeup or special effects.
