The whole shock value thing gets old, and the movie felt a bit like a test to see how many dongs you could stand to look at.


I actually watched it, but only paid attention to the first 15 or 20 minutes. Dreck. The first 15 or 20 minutes was probably the best part. If I want funny, I'll watch something that is actually entertaining and humorous, like Young Frankenstein, Airplane, etc., that I can recall and smile about instead of cringe.

Not on mine.

No, I borrowed it from someone at work, thankfully, I didn't buy it, even used.

Felt like straight shock value the whole way through to me. Borat was much funnier IMO and actually had some thought put into it.

It's all been seen in Finland and I figure it wasn't such a shock in Europe as it was in the states.. I personally didn't find it as funny as its obvious reference movie, Borat. But I did find the helicopter part funny.

Am I the only one who thinks Ali G was funnier than both?

When my daugher and friend snuck into the theater (they're 16) the bolted about 20 minutes later! Serves them right! I just watched this last night and now I know why. However, having seen Borat, I was prepared for the grossness and nothing really phased me in the movie. In fact, I laughed my way through it. Laughed hard. I'm surprised Sasha B. Cohen hasnt been killed yet! That guy has some guts when it comes to pissing people off. I went hysterical when he tried to get into the hunter's tent naked saying "A bear ate all my clothes except for this condom". Way too funny, but I was also terrified that he was going to get a bullet in the head. Also hilarious was trying to seduce Sen. Ron Paul! Cohen is just outrageous!

Same age as your daughter, but I stayed through the whole show (or fiasco?). I thought this was rather subpar compared to Borat, but of course, when you start comparing movies to Cohen's Borat...
