When this was in the theaters still, I wnet with my husband, best friend, and parents. I was somewhat familiar with Sascha Baron Cohen from Da Ali G Show, and knew my mom would not enjoy this, but she came along anyway.

My dad, friend, husband and I laughed so hard we all were crying throughout the entire film, which is hard to do. Yes, this movie is over the top, gross at times, and vulgar most of the time, but is DAMN funny. It is also original, smart, political, anthropological, thought-provoking, and brilliant. And those are qualities that are hard ro come by in our advertising-driven Hollywood Machine day-and-age.

I will put up with a little fat-hairy-men wrestling to walk away with such a head full of wonder and a belly full of laughter.
