Universal Banned Bruno Reviews

Many of us do not have the privilege of screening the Bruno film before the scheduled release date of July 10th. Even those who did see Bruno on Monday are keeping their mouths shut and pens away from jotting down a review.

Universal has banned reviews of “Bruno” for another week…

… having seen the film Monday, and vowing to respect the review date…

The other take away points from Peter Bart’s column in Variety is:

• Please, Sacha, no more Borats.
• In some cases (as with former presidential candidate Ron Paul), the setup is painful, not funny.
• But some also will complain that it’s almost a one-joke comedy.
• Like “Borat,” “Bruno” will resound in a loud ka-ching. (Reference to movie ticket sales.)
