Raunchy, perverted and definitely filthy. Like Tom Green on acid, Sacha Baron Cohen here pushes the limits of good (or plain bad?) taste to the absolute limits, much more so than Freddy Got Fingered actor/director ever did way back in 2001. You don't believe it? Than watch this movie, and witness his character suck his own brother's nut-sack (in order to extract a lethal venom out of it), insert a rocket-missile into his own anus, and even get ejaculated on by a male elephant, all the while hiding inside of a female elephant's vagina. Yes, it's that kind of movie. Some of Baron Cohen's punchlines aren't actually bad, but he's completely missing the build-up to any joke, so the effect is eventually lost. If he only possessed the talent to work his way up to the shocking climax, instead of merely jumping straight to it, he might once again regain the humor of Borat and Bruno. Since those movies, his work has been less than sophomoric (The Dictator, anyone?). In a way, this movie is "so bad, it's good!" (but really, it's just bad) Sigh.
