I don't want to sound harsh but I really didn't enjoy this movie and don't see what the fuss is about. I was never familiar with the character before hand but from watching the trailers I thought I would enjoy it as it seemed like my kind of humour. Oh, how wrong was I! Sure, I laughed a few times but all those moments were from the trailer, the rest was just too cringing for me. I don't find humilitating average people funny and that's basically all it was. The infamous wrestling scene was just painful to watch and I could really have done with not seeing it!
Overall, I think this is a film that you can only judge for yourself. Cohen was brilliant, I can't deny him that but I think he was unnecessarily cruel. I don't ever want to see it again and yet it got huge critical and audience acclaim...I guess I just didn't get it.
