Waste of time

just watch it!

A lot of fun.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Since it's a comedy movie, it's undoubtedly a funny and enjoyable movie. But there are some nasty and tasteless scenes. I rated this movie 4/10 because those nasty scenes exceed the enjoyable parts.

I didn't expect much from this film, but was bored and had nothing better to do. I was pleasantly surprised that it was genuinely funny. Sasha Baron Cohen is doing his usual thing of donning a silly accent and being an over-the-top caricature, but he was nicely balanced by a good script and Mark Strong, plus some side characters who were pretty good. Some of the jokes didn't land, but overall better than I thought.

I wanted to like this movie more than it actually turned out I did. Not by much, mind you, it scarcely looked like Oscar material to start with. But a couple of the jokes went past the point of humorous implications that made me laugh to the point of crass displays that made me cringe. Despite this, however, I found myself laughing heartily more often than not, particularly at the shock/slapstick gags which proliferate throughout the movie. I wasn't quite laughing to the point of tears, but I did become self conscious of the neighbors on account of how much noise I made on more than one occasion. I was surprised to see some of the celebrity clout cast in this comedy, but not unpleasantly so. Mark Strong shines, in particular, when you think of how many "better" scripts were likely on his radar when he chose to do this. He never seems to be phoning it in, even though this is a movie where he could easily get away with it. Cohen, the master of ethnic ambiguity, is his usual chameleon-goofball, this time as a football hooligan, to hilarious effect. This comes recommended for the not-easily-offended, but it wasn't one you need to see on the big screen.

This is a roller coaster of grotesque and bizarre humor that somehow manages to shoe horn in a touching, dramatic story about 2 brothers into it's otherwise ridiculous and twisted plot.One part action, one part drama and a heaping overdose of over the top gross out humor and what you end up with is an incredibly under rated and unexpected master piece.Of all Sasha Baron Cohen's films, this may be the most narrative and touching he's been able to achieve. While it's not quite the humor level of his earliest films like Borat, it contains more variety of elements than he's been able to achieve before this.You'll be cheering at the action, crying at the drama and if you can manage not to vomit, you'll be belly ache laughing at the humor.If you are sensitive to gross out humor, this might not be for you. But if you don't mind some cringe with your laughter, there's a lot to enjoy here.
