Cue the faux outrage over ‘Bruno’s NC-17 rating

Oh, no. Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Borat” follow up, “Bruno,” has been slapped with an NC-17 rating.

That’s the kiss of death for mainstream films, since it complicates where movies can be advertised and whether anyone under the age of 17 can even see the film in theaters.

But the news is barely news at all.

The film will be recut/resubmitted and it will earn its R rating soon enough.

Meanwhile, “Bruno” will get all the ink it could want.
