Interesting article about Bruno. Not being British, I am not sure I get the connection with the class system. I thought it anti-gay before I saw it. I went because friends wanted me to go with them.
The criticisms are all valid. It was stupid, offensive etc. But I do have to say that I laughed at some of it. My opinion at the time, which I shared with my friends, that it's a perfect movie for your average 14 year old boy.
