How long did you watch before turning it off?

The scene with the elephants.

Strike one would probably be the scene where he sucked the poison out of his brother's ball sack...

I laughed at the part with the AIDS splashing into (the guy who looked nothing like Daniel Radcliffe's mouth. That's my son Lou. We call him Lou because he has leukemia....but once you take the humor and make it graphic and disgusting...that's when the movie fails.

It's like this....I go to see Bill Hicks live....because in some alternate universe he's alive and yeah....the whole nine yards and such. So, I'm laughing and suddenly, the room goes silent and Bob Saget starts telling his jokes....yeah...I wouldn't compare SBC to Bill Hicks, but, point made.

I watched the whole thing, but in retrospect I wish I had turned it off.

Yep, the elephants was my breaking point. At that point, I started to seriously reconsider my life choices.

I thought it was great. It was a silly and stupid movie, but it was self aware of that. Were you expecting more?

I thought it was great as well! I do worry about my sense of humor as most people hated this film and i laughed more at this, than any film in my life!

Its a SBC movie... what did you expected??

At what point did you turn off Borat? Or Bruno?

I personally have loved 90% of SBC's output. He typically does crude very well, without going too far. Grimsby felt desperate to be nasty without having much to say, and it's different from his usual output.

I've never cut out early from a film with Cohen before this.

When you say "before turning it off" are you implying that you didn't watch it on a movie theater? That you bought a pirate copy or that you downloaded it yourself? 😱
