This movie is not for the faint of heart. If you can be offended then you may want to sit this one out. I think Borat was better, partly because it seemed most of it was real situations, Bruno still has plenty of laughs. It is the same style of movie except this time it is about how people react to a gay man instead of a foreigner. Tons of laughs but highly offensive.

Quite possibly the RAUNCHIEST movie I've seen in my life. Loads of laughs (the scene with the psychic I thought I was going to wet myself) but like azprosportsfan said this isn't for the faint of heart.

If you are into raunchy humor and aren't easily offended its worth the price of admission. For everyone else, avoid it like the plague

He can't tell the difference between Hamas and hummus, LoL.

I kept wondering (while laughing) 'how does he get away with this stuff?" Then remembered it was all done filming a "documentary."

The part when he goes to the Gay Converter in the Bible Belt reminded me of Bill Mahr's movie about religion.

I couldn't believe there were some 12-14yr old kids in front of us. There are quite a few sex scenes and a talking penis.

i dig rauncy humor and liked da ali g show ..... however, borat fell really flat for me - seemed like trying too hard and too many staged type stunts with only a couple really funny moments

i'm afraid this one will do the same - i like my raunch with some spontenaity and context ........ i think this may be a rental choice instead of a theater stop

I'm not going to see this movie and I'm still appalled.

I just won't waste my money on a movie like this. I waited to see Borat on video and I am glad I did. Had some really funny moments but I also find some of the stuff he does really really stupid. I felt the same way about Jacksass the movie. Stuff like that makes for great TV shows but not an entire movie.

It will be on DVD a month after it leaves theaters. I will wait for it then.

Over the top that is for sure. Pure shock value comedy. Gets old after a while.

There were a few funny parts but not worth the price of admission IMO and I saw it during a Matinee.

The crazy part was that some dad brought his 12-14 year old daughter and son to the movie. Needless to say they left very early on.

I walked out of this one. It was just painfully bad. It tried soooo hard to be another Borat but failed soooo miserably. Had a few laugh moments, but otherwise started falling asleep.

I didn't walk out but was close. It didn't have any of the originality of Borat and some scenes seemed forced and dragged on for too long.

I laughed at some parts but mostly was disappointed.

I watched this last night and it was pretty funny.

Definitely does a great job at poking fun at homophobia in this country.

I finally watched it and it was definitely worse then his first movie. Again, had a couple funny parts but for the most part I was actually embarrassed for him for being so stupid. So, glad I didn't pay money to see this at the movies.

Terrible, terrible movie.

Borat was funny. This was just crap.

Yep, this one failed to have the cleverness of Borat. I chuckled six or seven times, but overall I wasn't impressed.
