Not a big fan of him but the trailer had me laughing a few times, I will give this a rental

Not quite as strong as his prior two films, but I may pick this up eventually, if for no other reason than to see what was edited from the theatrical release.

Totally agree. Trailer had all the funny parts.

I actually disagree... Recently saw this at the theaters, and laughed my butt off at many parts. I was NOT a fan of Bruno, but LOVED Borat, and felt this was funnier than Borat, since with it being scripted, he didn't have to work so hard off of others' reactions.

As long as the price is right ($19.99 or less) I'll be picking this up day one.

Loved every minute of it. Day 1.

Never got to see this in theaters but I was a fan of Borat and HATED Bruno so it seems like I should enjoy this as most seem to say its better than Bruno which isnt a very hard thing to do IMO.

bradley4846 · 06-18-2012, 10:46 PM

may pick it up first day, but i may wait till xmas. depends on price

seigneur_rayden · 06-18-2012, 11:05 PM

Day 1 for me!!! I laughed so hard when I watched it at the theater. It was 1000x better than Bruno.

rickah88 · 06-18-2012, 11:22 PM

Preordered through the site!
I really hope this might bring Borat to US blu-ray as well.

An awful movie with some incredibly funny moments.

I thought it got almost painful to watch toward the middle third though.

I couldn't disagree more. I didn't think much of the movie after watching the trailers, but gave the movie a shot. It was friggin hilarious. When I left, I wondered why they couldn't have made a funnier trailer.
