Bruno 's Prejudice....Sacha Baron Cohen is at his best when he's at his most political.....unfortunately, however, Bruno limits its target to American homophobia....For a film that claims to fight against prejudice, Bruno fights it with a prejudice of its own.....Both Borat and Bruno reveal Larry Charles' and Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy to be deeply rooted in a cynical contempt for people..... ...
