Bruno

Starring: Sacha Baron Cohen

Directed by: Larry Charles

Plot: Austrian fashion designer Bruno tours across America getting into all kinds of misunderstandings and crazy situations.

Rotten Tomatoes Freshness: 72%

Critic Consensus: “Crude and offensive, but with ample cultural insights and gut-busting laughs, Bruno is another outlandish and entertaining mockumentary from Sacha Baron Cohen.”

I Love You, Beth Cooper

Starring: Hayden Panettiere, Paul Rust

Directed by: Chris Colombus

Plot: The nerdy valedictorian of a high school class proclaims his love for the hottest girl in the class, Beth Cooper, who unexpectedly arrives at his house that night and takes him on a crazy adventure.

RT Freshness: 11%

Consensus: “Heavily reliant on stereotypes and shallow teen comedy clichés, I Love You Beth Cooper is a humorless affair that fails to capture the charm of its source novel.”

Blood: The Last Vampire

Starring: Gianna Jun, Allison Miller, Liam Cunningham, JJ Feild

Directed by: Chris Nahon

Plot: A young girl named Saya is an expert in swords and hunts vampires, while she herself is a half vampire.  She’s on the hunt for Onigen, the vampire mother.

RT Freshness: 22%

Entertainment Weekly: “Blood: The Last Vampire might be described as Kill Bill crossed with Buffy, only that would make it sound like more than the slapdash, thrill-less dud that it is.”
