I’ve said this before and I will keep re-iterating it: I’m not sure whether Sacha Baron Cohen is a genius or a misguided moron who makes me laugh a lot. He exploded onto our scenes ten years ago when he did a small slot for the 11 o’clock show. Anyone remember that? I recall tuning in for him and the spectacularly dry-wittingly charming Daisy Donovan. Cohen has managed to do so much in that time, not to mention surpass all levels of absurdity possible, that looking at him and not smiling is actually quite a difficult task for me.
He made a film starring the irreverent Ali G and then repeated that success by making a film for Borat (with a stupidly long-winded name). He’s only gone and done it again for Bruno – but can this film mirror his previous successes that have led him to win many awards (including BAFTAs) and be nominated for many others (including Emmys)?
