Not as good as 'Borat' or 'The Dictator' but still pretty decent


Had a good chunk of laughs and really liked all the references they included, especially the Call of Duty futuristic first person view and the Fast & Furious at the end.

All in all it's not a terrible unfunny film but Sacha Baron Cohen could have done much better.

The two times I've seen Bruno I didn't really enjoy it as much as I'd have expected and I know what the movie was trying to accomplish but it just felt weird and inappropriate though inappropriateness is Sacha's middle name. 

So for me it'd be: Borat > The Dictator > The Brothers Grimsby > Bruno

P.S. That scene where Sacha/Nobby spoke to the crowd at the football stadium regarding the 'scum' was pretty spot on and I can't say I disagree with anything he said. The Brothers Grimsby isn't really a bad film but those that don't get the references will feel alienated.
