The creator of Borat is back. His shorts are shorter, his make-up freshly applied, and his sexuality more in your face. Borat becomes Brüno. Brüno becomes...well, nothing.

Brüno, the final installment of the personalities featured on Sacha Baron Cohen's Da Ali G Show, is based on a flamboyant fashion-ista who would do anything to become famous.

Armed with a heavy Austrian accent and trusty sidekick Lutz (Gustaf Hammarsten), Brüno sets out to realize his dream � celebrity interviewing.

The film begins with Brüno (Baron Cohen) carelessly living in Austria as a television personality and fashion critic. He sets out to push the boundaries by wearing a Velcro suit to a runway show only to be ousted by the Austrian fashion world. Similar to the storyline in Borat, Brüno sets out for the United States to solidify his "fame."

During his visit to America, he interviews guests by claiming to be an Austrian reporter.

After numerous failed attempts with stars such as Paula Abdul and Harrison Ford, Brüno takes on a new angle � seduction. Brüno sets out to seduce 2008 presidential candidate Ron Paul by luring him into a camera-infested bedroom. It was at this moment in the film where I became engulfed in a blur of subtitles (used for accents and translations), outrageous love tension, racial slurs, fashion faux pas, and innuendos.

Although the weak storyline created confusion, one definite aspect of the movie was the strong sexually connected content. The Motion Picture Association of America first declared the movie NC-17 (no children admitted under 17).

Conflicting opinions led to Brüno becoming a rated R film, which requires any child under 17 to be accompanied by an adult. Accompanied or not, no child under 17 should be watching this film due to the strong content that forced adults to squirm in their seats.

The ingredients of a successful film include a storyline, some sort of growth from the main character and a clich� ending in which good prevails over evil.

This story line is based on a man on a quest for fame. The growth of the main character is the realization and acceptance of his homosexuality. Lastly, the ending...clich�? Not so much. In essence, Bruno delivered a strong dose of nothing.

After the belly-aching laughs from Borat, I stepped into the movie theater with high expectations. I patiently sat in my seat waiting for that one line to set my laughter off.

I waited approximately 83 minutes. Sadly, I am still waiting.
