I think Sacha Baron Cohen is funny. I used to watch his HBO television show and thought the characters Borat, Bruno, and Ali G. were entertaining. But when the movie Borat came out, I wasn't really interested in seeing it.
The trailers looked kind of dumb, and it seemed like a movie I normally wouldn't be interested in. But the reviews were great and everyone loved it. It was even nominated for an Academy Award. I did end up renting it and I thought it was okay—nothing special.
Cohen's new movie Bruno came out yesterday. In this one, his character is a flamboyant fashionista from Austria. The reviews so far have not been as good as they were for Borat.
Cohen says he's trying to bring awareness to certain issues (racism, gay rights, etc.) by playing these characters. I sometimes think he just ends up hurting a lot of people's feelings in the process and he isn't bringing awareness to anyone. It's not like his movies are going to turn on a light bulb for those people who need it—they're just likely to agree with the "false" message and think it's funny.

h-e to the l-l no! that guy is just annoying to begin with, and now his stereotype of a gay man? yea, not funny.
On the "gay" issue.. All my gay friends have seen it, and didn't mind it. Gay stereotype movies have been done, and done, and done.. this isnt new. Hes a character, everyone understands that. They said its not hurtful unless your LOOKING to be offended by it.. and found it really funny so many straight people are up in arms about it when they themselves found it entertaining. Then again, my friends have great senses of humor and are not easily offended. They grew up the only two gay kids in a high school of 2500 hicks, so... they have thick skins.
I would go see it if we could get a babysitter.. but its not worth the $25 bucks to her and the $25 bucks to the movie theatre and the $10 popcorn.. I'll netflix it later. I like Sacha Baron Cohen, I think hes a hilarious comedian. I didn't like Borat all that much, but who knows? Comparing the two seems a bit unfair. This isn't Borat 2... so I'm not going to judge it before I see it. All I know is the naked wrestling scene in Borat with his producer made me gag.. so as long as this doesnt have THAT happening again? I'm happy.
I think he's hilarious, but this doesn't look anywhere near as funny as Borat to me. I'll probably give it a shot thouhgh.
Ditto ^^. That wrestling scene was way gross, it pretty much ruined the whole movie for me.
Anyways, I am certainly not interested in seeing it in theaters, there are way to many other movies coming out this summer I want to spend my money on. M And MY favorite Sacha Baron Cohen movie role is in Sweeney Todd... Even though he dies pretty awesomely.
I thought Borat was freaking retarded. This looks even worse. Seeing the previews makes my IQ drop 10 points.
Bruno cracked me up, especially on a political level. But if you didn't get that you probably wouldn't think it was as funny.
I meant Borat, not Bruno. Sorry.
I think he is funny. Borat was on the gross side though. I see what he is trying to do. People sit and say I am not racist but when they are with someone that they can put they're guard down the real feelings show!
this freckin grosses me out ugh hell no i will nvr see it i am sick of seeing the preveiws & he was way outa control on tehe cohnan o'brian show
