Summer Movie Releases - 7/9/09

Bruno

Sascha Baron Cohen takes another character from his Ali G Show to the big screen, this time the gay Austrian fashionista. Borat made us take a hard look as racial stereotypes; maybe this will do the same for gay ones. But something tells me that this won’t be the smash success that Borat was – people are just not that comfortable with really, really gay people in their personal space.



I Love You, Beth Cooper

A nerdy valedictorian professes his love for Beth Cooper (Hayden Panettiere) while he’s giving his graduation day speech. He’s surprised when she later shows up at his door for a date. All kinds of worthless and horrible high school shenanigans are sure to follow. Pass.



Humpday

2 old college friends meet up a decade later and somehow dare each other into making an amateur gay porno with each other. This is supposedly the best of the “mumblecore” movies - whatever that means (cheap, poorly acted, bad lighting, etc.). With that set-up, I don’t care what the reviews are – I’m out.
