IMO, a clever but crude movie, overall in poor taste

Rating: 4/10 (1 April 2007)

My opinion may be a minority one, but I did not enjoy this movie. It was rude, crude, and not all that funny. I don't think it is all that hard to get people to say ignorant things, if you approach them in a friendly manner and ask for some help. I'm not defending all the victims of this movie (yes, the people he interviewed are all victims of Sasha Cohen's con job), but I personally feel that this movie was very exploitive. I feel that, in an odd way, this movie says more about Americans' kindness and sense of charity, as well as naiveté, than about prejudice and excessive nationalism. This movie mocks many people, and is needlessly graphic. IMO, if you are looking for a crude but funny skewering of American culture, watch South Park.
