I enjoyed it. I thought it started funny and got more hilarious as it progressed. I'm an SBC fan and this movie did NOT disappoint.

This is one of the reasons I haven't made it to the theatre to see this... I was hoping there would be some unscripted parts. I think that's what made his other movies golden.


In his interview with NPR, SBC said that while the movie was scripted, multiple scenes were shot multiple times with improvisation. It maintains the element of surprise throughout the humor. A vintage SBC effort and it is a solid effort.

Bumped it...didnt wanna start another thread lol


Just watched it off Red Box. Decently funny movie...I went in expecting Borat tho. Some very oncomfortable parts tho, especially the Munich Olympics scene while he was playing the Wii ...that was a little too much for me

I was shocked how mediocre and unfunny this actually was. I thought Cohen was above humor like this.

Wii Terrorist 2K13.... Seriously...

He's really talented and his Ali G/Borat stuff was genius. But he's too recognized to do them anymore. The Dictator was OK.
