You can say that 2006’s Borat brought guerrilla filmmaking to a new level with Sacha Baron Cohen fooling many unsuspecting Americans to the point that he was sued afterwards.

Probably as a result, Brüno keeps it safe and at least half of the film seems to consist of mostly scripted content.

However, there are still plenty of real folks in the film and the results are at the same time quite funny, as well as very shocking (Sacha Baron Cohen is a brave man).

In the end, Borat was probably the more successful film, but Brüno still had the laughs.
