I used to think that the main reason why I enjoyed both Borat and Bruno was mostly due to the brilliance of the sociopolitical satire that each of those films brought to the table. But now I realize that those two movies had something else (an added push, if you will): both movies delivered their sociopolitical satire through humor of the "I CANNOT believe they just did that!" variety. Borat and B... read more

"America! The birthplace of AIDS!"

Who would've thought that Sacha Baron Cohen had another new character in him? The talented performer fooled the world using the personas of Ali G, Borat and Bruno, and now Cohen has re-teamed with director Larry Charles to introduce another comic creation for another hard-R comedy destined to be both controversial and polarising.

“Es humor negro puro y duro. Hay racismo, xenofobia, islamofobia y todo aquello que se considera "políticamente incorrecto" en la actualidad. Las personas más impresionables puede ser perturbadas por una obra que no aspira nada más que hacer reír.” read more

"Pros: Not... QUITE as bad as 'Borat'; I might have snickered once or twice; Kevin Corrigan and Ben Kingsley appear in it (WHY, I'm not sure -- you can do better, Kevin and Ben!); New York City setting. Cons: Again, while not as obnoxiously unfunny as 'Borat' (or as, say, 'The Interview'), this one still isn't NEARLY as clever as it thinks it is; and, regarding the underlying political theme, could Aladeen's speech to his little hippie girlfriend in the movie's climactic scene (about why he sudd"
