so I saw the movie Bruno last week and I could not stop thinking about it when I was watching "This Film is Not Yet Rate" this past week. The film was hilarious but also gross, disrespectful, uncalled for, and lots of sexual and almost all homosexual scenes. It Just made me question how they did not get rated an NC-17 for the film. Is it because Borat made so much money and they figured Bruno would too?

    I 100% thought the same exact thing! I was really taken aback by some of the scenes in that movie, and I am not a prude or overly-conservative, especially when it comes to humor and enterainment.

    I think you hit the nail on the head when you wondered if Borat's success had anything to do with it. I absolutely think it did.

    I agree with the comparison between the films, and I've seen both Bruno and This Film Is Not Yet Rated. As with Borat, there are scenes with male nudity and unnecessary sexual innuendo. I'm surprised Bruno isn't rated NC-17, and I'm sure its because of the recent critism of the MPAA. It probably has some small effect on the procedure they use to rate each movie.
