Baron Cohen is an intelligent guy and his previous work has often been groundbreaking if somewhat short lived. Borat was a novel character when first developed if very much a stereotype. Unfortunately like most of his characters, Borat became boring pretty quickly. This new film proves this with alarming cringeworthyness.
The film is tired, over the top, politically biased and just not that funny. It aims to offend and shock but at the expense of entertainment. There is a Tom Greenish quality to the film where Baron Cohen indulges himself in his own opinions and beliefs where it ends up trying way too hard.
If you like the over the top and not especially funny shock factor in films like Freddy got fingered then this is for you. For the rest of world possessing even a modicum of decency or intelligence then avoid this like the plague. The biggest joke here is the film itself.
