Directed by Larry Charles, and written by  Sacha Baron Cohen, Anthony Hines, Dan Mazer, and Jeff Schaffer, Brüno stars Cohen (above, with Gayby) as a gay Austrian fashionista who comes to the US  to become &#34;the most famous Austrian since Hitler&#34; while at the same time trying to pass for a hetero dude like &#34;Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and Kevin Spacey.&#34;
&#34;Beneath the idiocy,&#34; writes Steve Rose in The Guardian, &#34;Baron Cohen is also a politically astute agent  who&#8217;s devised an ingenious way to confront and expose serious social  issues &#8211; and indulge his own exhibitionism.

Brook Barnes in the New York Times:
&#34;So it goes for Brüno, a movie that, in mercilessly exploiting the discomfort created when straight men are ambushed by aggressive gayness, happens to (surprise!) expose homophobia. Gay groups are reacting with deeply mixed emotions, heightened by the recent triumphs (Iowa) and losses (California) in efforts to legalize gay marriage.
