I haven't seen Borat yet either, but both it and Bruno intrigue me. I find the negative reaction to Bruno interesting as well, and I think Baraka_Guru is right that it probably has to do with uneasiness regarding male homosexuality.

Which, really, when you think about it, would be pretty ironic: the movie that uses humor to highlight homophobia gets low box office numbers because of... homophobia.

Obviously I'd have to see it to see if that's more likely, or if the movie just sucks, but it's an intriguing possibility.
