All I can say is Wow!!!!

The story has much similarity to Borat, but rather than the mission that drives him to find Pamela Anderson he is on a mission to become famous by whatever means necessary and he is totally Gay.

This movie is extremely edgy and semi controversial. If you were brave enough to see Borat then you must gather even more courage to see this one. The clothes, sexual innuendos, people, and places are so bizzare I felt nervous the whole movie wondering where he was going with each skit next and how much more he was going to push the envelope.

There is a bit of Farenheight 911 in the sense that he points out many flaws in our country's ethics and morality as well as common sensibility through his off the wall antics.

I could say a lot more about it, but I will leave it at that. It is very humorous and also very excessive and I found myself many times with my hat over my face not being able to watch.

This one could be good or terrible, but I feel that if you find yourself buying tickets for this and have seen the previews you are going to like it or love it. I could appreciate the humor but it was a just too much for me to take in one sitting.

and a half out of 5

Very funny but pretty disturbing. Im pretty sure I watched half the movie through my fingers. I enjoyed the typical Borat/Ali G style interviews but the amount of penis in this movie is over the top. Honestly, im surprised they pulled off an "R" rating.

i cant believe it only got a MA15+ rating here in Australia .
i cant even recall the last time a movie got an R18+ rating in Australia .


Watched it last night with my wife and friends and we all loved it !
if you only view it as a movie/entertainment you should be fine . So many classic lines in it .

A few "macho" guys in the same cinema's were flipping out when they saw some of the gay scenes . Im comfortable with my sexuality so i was fine .

"so many stars in the sky , doesnt it remind you of all the hots guys in the world"? then there was that awkard silence hahahaha

I saw it last night. Went with the wife and brought along my friend who is gay, but is in the closet and my wife and I are only a couple of the people who know.

BIG mistake. I am sure he was totally offended by much of it.
He likes Borat, ALi G and Bruno from the HBO series, but this movie is so over the top with the gay aspect that I could just see him squirming in his seat. Its not that he does not have a sense of humor, but it paints gay people as super-gross-out-bondage-kinky-felching fettishists.

Now, I thought the movie was hilarious and laughed a lot. I et that Sasha will do anything for a laugh. Some of this stuff you see on screen just makes you drop your freaking jaw.

It has lots of funny stuff, the focus group made me LMAO. Especially when the wiener says "Bruno" and they cut to that ladies face. The phone call from "Pink Cheeks Salon", the hotel bondage scene. So much funny stuff. When he says the bear ate his clothes and Straight Dave. I keep laughing at this stuff all day.

But he definately has a mean streak that shows in this movie.

If you like Sasha and are not offended by much, I give it a high rating.

THAT was classic. The silence goes on for almost a minute and the three guys have the most uncomfortable body language you will ever see.

or what about in the next scene when he goes to the guy's tent on the 2nd attempt completely naked and insist they sleep together as a bear ate all his clothes !!!

i can see the point your making here , but i just think if your a mature adult, you can walk away knowing it is just a movie, it hasnt changed my views on gay people .

Not for me. It was funny at times but other parts were just disturbing.
