Caught this tonight. At times it was a bit TOO much ('specially early on), but it had its' moments. (Mexican Chair People!) I barely remember Borat, but I remember it as being funnier than this. And a bit more sad in a "man, people really DO act like that, huh?" kinda way. I wasn't really feeling the storyline regarding his journey to America. I was okay with it in Borat, but I think this one seems corny and it takes away from the stunts he pulls. Kinda blurs the lines between the scripted/unscripted. I read a review that said it may not be comedy of the year, but it should be a contender for documentary of the year. I'm sure folks disagree, but I feel dude has a talent for making people show their true colors. And there's no arguing that dude pushes boundaries to the extreme, especially for a major motion picture.

peace, stein. . .
some of it was way over the top. dunno how it got an R rating when there are full 30 sec scenes with just close ups of a dick
i saw it at Bay Plaza at Co-op City and if you are from NY you know that is a primarily urban area.
there were parts where i had to laugh out loud but i was the only one
a lot of racist humor too
One of the most gully theaters in NYC.
I took a chance and saw Madea there and kids were climbin errywhere, makin noise and shit. NEVER again.
yea i saw it at 10 am tho. it isn't gully that early!
oh and to the all the people i see talking about this movie saying they walked out and shit
what did u expect?
he wants you people to walk out. it got to you haha
That's what I was thinking too. The dancing penis had me like "WTF?!" then after I thought about it I was "man, now we - the audience - are part of his little experiment!"
that is the exact moment the 4 thug kids and the old women left
but also the exact moment i laughed uncontrollably haha
peace, stein. . .
it was sorta a serious question.
did u expect to see Casablanca?
If he can go beyond these characters, and repeat his success, I'd be kinda surprised. And there can't be too many people left in the world, to hoodwink into appearing in his films, so I guess he'll have to.
This was a pretty funny story he told on Letterman the other night.
Though I could see him being one of the first Comedians to die in the line of duty.
The whole walking out thing is just lame. What someone esaid above is on-point: if I was Cohen, knowing people are walking out would just make me laugh. In fact, it makes me laugh even though I'm not him!
I thought the sidekick dude was lame, a la the fat producer guy in Borat. All the scripted stuff was weak.
also, f*ck, sh*t, hey-zeus and paaaaaaaaaaaaaants rather frequently and involuntarily audibly.
he had a good story or maybe it was a print interview about the HBO show as Borat. I think it was during the "throw the jew down the well" song at the honkytonk. basically he gets so drunk with these people in character that he goes into a toilet stall and passes out. all the rednecks are trying to revive him and cohen's people are like "if he wakes up as sascha they will put a bullet in him". he comes up half revived and groggy but still keeps the borat accent! incredible.
yet,
hehe
