If you live in the Ukraine then you won't be seeing Bruno on the big screen. The country's Culture Ministry has banned the movie because of its immorality.
According to the Ministry, Bruno won't be shown in Ukrainian theaters because it contains mentions or imagery of homosexual intercourse, depictions of sexual organs, and foul and improper language.
The country is the first to ban the theatrical release of the film but star Sasha Baron Cohen should be surprised. His last film, Borat, was banned from theaters in Russia and Kazakhstan.

The sudden and shocking death of pop singer Michael Jackson yesterday caused Universal executives to err on the side of caution and edit out a short scene from Bruno where Sasha Baron Cohen asks LaToya Jackson a series of questions, several of which are directly about her famous brother. Universal felt that in light of the sudden death of the performer and out of respect to the Jackson family they decided to remove the scene with LaToya Jackson complete from the premiere screening of the film. Whether the studio will decide to remove those scenes all together from the final cut of the movie has not yet been determined.
