I finally saw it and thought it was as funny as it was disturbing, the disturbing parts being 1) seeing his giant, naked co-stars cash and prizes and 2) hearing the disgusting shit people say when they think no one is listening. (Vic): i really hate this kind of stuff. It doesn't make me laugh, it makes me cringe... and a little nauseous. I agree some, but it was those moments that made me cringe a little that were the most important and insightful ones in the film to me. (martin:) it is hard for me to accept the criticism and mockery of americans for their ignorance and silly beliefs from a jew who thinks god cares that he keeps kosher and doesnt use certain machines on the sabbath. is that any less irrational than the silly traditions of the dummies in the movie? irrationality and ignorance is either ok or it isnt. the fundamentalist nutcases in the movie are not that crazy compared to a practicing jew who cares that the cereal he eats was approved by a rabbi. That wasn't the point, man. There are religious fanatics with "irrational and silly traditions" all over the world. But they're not just in the middle east. We've got some here, too. i dont disagree with the mockery of americans. i disagree with the idea that cohen is anything other than exactly as bad as those americans he is taunting. Who's presenting that idea? You? Because it wasn't Cohen in the movie. once again i am not too psyched about a movie trying to teach me a little lesson. Yeah, fuck learning. Good film. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.
