Christopher WaldeckMovies to see this weekend
July 10th 2009 15:06
There are two movies coming out this weekend. We have Bruno, starring Sacha Baron Cohen and I Love You Beth Cooper starring Hayden Panettierre. Bruno has been getting mixed and average reviews for Bruno while I Love you Beth Cooper is getting very negative reviews.
I was reading the reviews for Bruno and I realized why it was getting average reviews. The content and subject matter is different in its raunchy tone than Borat. People go in expecting Borat, but what you've got to understand is that this is a completely different character.
The critics say that the humor goes from hilarious to over the top awful and in today's world with the whole gay civil rights movement and conservatives in America against any concept or definition of the word Gay I can see why they didn't like the movie. This is satire and a very good satire. Sure it has some very unnecessary and dirty jokes, but the reason for why they seem so dirty is because Sacha baron Cohen is going so over the top, despite the jokes being rather timid, we just interpret all the gay jokes as being to dirty because many people in the United States are homophobic and against this practice because to us it's disturbing.
Seriously, every joke that we make against gay people is going to be acted out on that screen and it's our own humor that shocks us which makes it so brilliant.
On the other hand, the Beth Cooper movie is a disappointment considering the fact that it was written by the actual author and directed by Christopher Columbus. The only book movie that you need to be excited for is Harry Potter and that's next week.
I predict Bruno to be the more successful movie this week. I don't expect it to be number one movie though just because of its theme. Hopefully, it is watched because the critical bias over this film's content is more shocking than the actual movie.
