      In Australia, the uncut version was rated R18+ by the OFLC and was subsequently edited to receive a lower MA15+ rating. According to Universal a few seconds of footage were trimmed in order to receive the new rating. The uncut version was released on DVD/Blu-ray.

    Too many staged scenes

    Saw the film last night in Munich/Germany. Although I found the movie quite funny (especially the first part) and the audience even applauded at the end, I am damn sure, that a lot of the scenes where staged and performed by actors, which somehow ruins the film. Unlike Borat, where Cohen pretended to be a reporter, which made cameras around him an obvious thing, Brüno is shot in a different way, with a lot of cuts, very clear pictures, from several ankles and most of all with no real reason, why the scenes should be taped by a camera team. This was most obvious in the swinger club scene. Consequently I am certain that a lot of scenes are played by actors. That dampens the fun tremendously; at least for me.
