CATHOLIC REVIEW OF BRUNO

“Bruno”

Wild satire on exploits of a hyper-gay Austrian fashion reporter, flaunting
his proclivities and eccentricities to the discomfiture of many. Scores at
the expense of clueless celebrities and irresponsible parents launching kids
in Hollywood, but exploration of sexual mores is simplistic, explicit, and
can offend everyone. Strong sexual content, including graphic perverse and
adulterous sexual activity, full nudity, pervasive sexual/some irreverent
humor, implicit acceptance of homosexual activity, much rough/some crude
language.

The U.S. bishops’ Office for Film & Broadcasting classification is O –
morally offensive. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is R —
restricted.
