LOL That Trailer is hilarious.

As soon as I heard Mundain To Bach Ke, I know I must see this movie.

Anything with Sacha Baron Cohen is a must-see movie for me.

From what I've seen of Ali G - it's funny.

I've seen Borat a few times - it's funny.

I saw Bruno once - crap, not funny at all.

Watched that trailer and it doesn't look bad at all, will definitely see it. Anything is better than Bruno.

Big fan of Sacha Baron Cohen. Loved Da Ali G Show (Ali G movie was just okay though), Borat, and Bruno. I think all three are balls to the wall ridiculous comedic satires, but I'm thinking this one is going to verge on being a cheese fest unfortunately. I'll probably still give it a shot though.

Would seriously like this guy to stop ripping off Peter Sellers and come up with new characters.

Not really a big fan of his style of comedy, think often he picks soft targets and that too much of it is in poor taste. However I can't denay he has personaity and that his films certainly are challenging, so I will give this a shot. One things for sure I will either love it or hate it, don't see there being much inbetween.

I remembering hearing about this movie last year and this trailer wasn't what I expected. I didn't expect it to be a comedy in a similar vein to his previous releases. For some reason because it was based on Saddam's book I thought it would be more of a drama, not sure why I thought that considering it is Sacha Baron Cohen. In saying that the trailer didn't look too bad so I might give this movie a shot.

Seeing this next Wednesday night (the day it's released). I'm a big fan of Sacha Baron Cohen and this looks pretty funny with some superb acting from him. It might be a let down since it's all acting and not footage where the people don't know about it (eg; Borat, Bruno).

Check this video out, especially Aussies. Haha it's pretty funny.

I thought that it was out this weekend, there goes my plan to see it on the weekend. I am glad that he has gone back to an all scripted movie, I think that Bruno was too obscure and it wasn't one of his strongest characters and so it hurt the film. Ali G Indahouse is hilarious and that is fully scripted so I am sure that this will be good, just judging the trailer and it looks funny.

Saw the trailer last week before American Reunion and it looked kinda lame, but that part where hes racing and shoots the guys in the knee made me crease laughing.

Bruno suffered badly in comparison to Borat, same applies to this really.

Still more excited for this than The Avengers. Comedy is my thing and even corny films will make me laugh, I mean some of Sandlers stuff is corny as hell and he's my fav Comedian. Baron Cohen is a genius and the guy gets my money over Avengers shit.
