Did ''Bruno'' rip off Pauly Shore's ''Adopted''?

Paul Shore says he did, and is threatening legal action. It hasn't been proven in court, or even taken to court yet. The article below is about several things, but the part about Paul Shore is highlighted.

I don't know how a court will respond. From what I've seen it seems to be based on a few short similar but not identical phrases. For a civil action, you don't need to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt like a criminal case.

Even convincing a jury that the preponderance of the evidence is for copyright violation may be hard in this case.

I don't think Sasha Baron Cohen knew anything about Pauly Shore's new movie. It's just a coincidence.

It seems. Now let's see further how he plays out..........

No, this is an easy answer, because Bruno was part of the Ali G show which came out YEAAAAAAAAARS ago. And this character Bruno was the only one of the 3 main characters on the show to not get a movie. Couple that with the huge financial success of Borat, and basically anyone with half a brain who watches comedy, or Sasha Baren Cohen, or Hollywood, or HBO, or anything entertainment really, would know this was coming.

If anything, I saw Pauly Shore is basically doing the same thing. There is not enough similarity either way for a lawsuit, so people should just calm down, enjoy entertainment for what it is meant to be. Relax and enjoy.

Thanks.

Pauly Shore seems to think so, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
