(Or is it? See the update.)
Sacha Baron Cohen’s Brüno is a pretty awful film. I don’t think it’s obscene, exactly, but it’s definitely crude and completely juvenile — and not in any good way. The Guardian pretty much got it; the header on their review says that the movie is “is a product of Sacha Baron Cohen’s bourgeois sexual neuroses”. (Class war!) (The review itself is quite graphic: You’re forewarned.) I’m afraid the reviewer makes a good case for his thesis; Baron Cohen is bright enough and witty enough to actually be funny sometimes, but this wasn’t one of them.
However, that’s not why we’re here. Sex and neurosis aside, there’s a pram in Brüno:
The laptop’s an add-on, and so is the optional gold lamé diaper bag (which matches fashionista Brüno’s shoes, visible in the background).
Intrepid researcher that I am, it still took a bit of serious snooping to scope out the model:
It’s an Australian Steelcraft Strider 4 that’s been heavily, and interestingly, modded. This image, the one that demonstrates the genealogy best, is from eBay Australia. The film was a bust, but the pram modifications are quite clever; more about them later.
(Note, 3/13/2010: As hinted above, this may actually be an UPPABaby Vista. Details here. It’s a sad day for stroller forensics.)
