When I heard “Bono” leave that guy’s lips in the movie, I gasped and then I slapped my dad on the arm 3 times…which really irritated him.

What can I say? I love my Bono!
And the movie was really good, too.

I thought the joke was very funny. Bono sure does get around.

LOL! And don’t forget the Simpsons movie – my kids still quote that one, mostly to irritate me!

It was great. I watched the film the same day I read this post, but forgot all about it. Anyhow, it was really funny. Arrested Development sort of way.

I giggled my little head off, and my brother gave a long-suffering sigh. Luckily, I wasn’t the only one in the cinema to find it funny. Earlier this year, ‘Made of Honour’ pulled a similar trick with a string of Bono references. Seems the man really is everywhere.

Of course, you can’t help but hear it! And just in case my kids and hubby missed it, I gave them the “I told you so-Bono rocks!” look. Hahaha!

You don’t have to see the movie to find out the joke. If you do a Google news search for Bono numerous stories covering the movie come up because of the Bono reference. It’s hilarious because it leads off most of the reviews of the movie as if the mention of Bono is more important than the movie itself.
