Poor & Unfunny Movie

Rating: 3/10 (30 March 2007)

To start with I will make it clear I have never been a fan of The Ali G show or Sacha Baren Cohen either, but I hired this movie on the strength of finding various trailers for it quite amusing and the recommendations of my friends.
What I saw was just your general, run-of-the-mill gross-out toilet humour movie. Nothing more spectacular than that.
Some of my friends said they found the movie to be rather offensive and vulgar and I can see why they might say that. However, I wasn't once offended by anything in it and took it for what it was.
There has been a lot of talk on this website about how much of this movie was a set-up and how much was actually real. I can't believe anybody has to even ask that question!! To me it appeared that every single scene was a set-up job and in no way spontaneous. How could anyone think any other? Yes, it was a little OTT in parts and to be honest I never laughed once - not at the movie anyway. The only part of the DVD that made me laugh was one of the deleted scenes - in the supermarket with the cheese.
Movies have to be something really special to make me laugh - my sense of humour is very deep indeed and extremely complex. All in all this movie was a disappointment to me - I expected to laugh at least once but as usual, a movie has turned out to be something well below my expectations.
I will not be bothering adding this to my collection or even viewing it again for that matter. At least I can say that I have seen it and managed to sit through the duration.
Not good.
