Enough Already ...

Rating: 7/10 (13 October 2007)

Look, there are parts of this movie that are over the top no doubt. I am a person who is pretty conservative on the whole and actually (the few) a George Bush supporter ... but you know what? This stuff is still hysterical. Now, it's not hysterical consistently throughout, but the hysterical parts are just too dang funny not to give this movie an overall good review. The only part that bothered me was trying to decipher between the scripted and the unscripted scenes. Let me tell you, if it was all NON-scripted as the producers claim, it's even funnier. Sure, some of the gags are cruel. Sure, some of the stuff sort of laughs at a "stupid" America. But it's still funny. Does the anti-American stuff bug me some? You bet. But is it inaccurate or unfunny? Absolutely not. You've got to be able to laugh at yourself to appreciate this film, but if you can, it's funny, and it's unique. Not quite as funny as the infamous "Throw the Jew down the well" skit in his Ali G show which is still the funniest skit Cohen has ever done, but all funny nonetheless. Step outside of yourself for a minute and laugh at all of it.
