Is Bruno the End of Reality Shows?
Sacha Baron Cohen seemed to have the magic touch this weekend with his new film Bruno. Opening in 2,756 theaters it had a spectacular first day, but ticket sales slid through the rest of the weekend leaving people asking is that it? It’s a good question concerning the popular star who’s experienced an up and down career for the last decade. The big question I have to ask is, does this bode ill for the reality show genre it’s very much a spoof of? If even the antics of Sacha can’t get an audience when placed alongside real people, what hope for shows like Denise Richards’ “It’s Complicated.” Could be time for celebrities to go back into scripted acting.
