spoiler or two and not that be matterstwo thing stand out about this movie . first be it be title both bruno and the dress code and and if you have see this movie you will catch the irony in that . second be it address issue completely off the wall . the adventure of a grade school cross dresser isn not something that there be a cry need for a movie about and nor a topic that i think most people would be interested in . shirley maclaine manages to walk around the issue of gender by tie bruno desire to wear a dress to religion and which probably open up an even thorny can of worm what be she think . yes and there some humor and it not directly offensive and but the kind of unsettle feeling in the beginning just keep on grow . it doesn not do much except repeat the liberal mantra that different people should be accept ( or maybe except . ) no matter what . which be fine but in order for people to live in a society everyone have to give a little to get along . bruno doesn not just want to wear a dress and he want to show up look like a miniature gladys knight on award night and and his final costume make him resemble a cabbage patch cowgirl doll . yet all the other kid dress and behave and well and like regular kid . so what give . if it come down to it we all could declare ourselves special or different and behave any way we felt like and and the result would be total chaos . this accepting of people who be different be also pretty narrowly defined and i doubt we will ever see a movie about a kid find his true self and want to wear overall and hunt geese and and go to tractor pull and and demand everyone else just accept him a he be . bruno be one stupid movie and and a complete waste of time .
