One of the funniest movies ever.

Warning: If you are thin skinned about religion, politics or women's rights, don't go see this. :D

This movie is way over the top, shocked me a few times and thats not easy to do.

    I'll wait for the dvd. Dude was funny as hell as Ali G, on HBO. I just recently watched a couple of those and thought it was hilarious....but sometimes he CAN get on your nerves, though.

    Rudest, most politically in-correct, and vulger, movie I have ever seen. With that being said........with out a doubt the funniest movie of the year. If you go see this movie and you don't laugh you are wound way to tight.

    It was so-so. I can 'take' the character for about 5-8 minutes, a nice Saturday Night Live Skit. After that, it's just the same thing, over and over - and what really bugged me, it all seemed so scripted and staged. 5-8 minutes - sure, 90 minutes - a beating.

    Gotta agree with Russ here. Short clips of him were hillarious but it got old quickly. I'd definately wait for the dvd with this one.

    The Leno / Martha Stewart thing he was on was great too ;)

    I t hought this movie was really overrated.

    I finally watched it the other day. It was funny in a lot of places. I think the character in general is pretty hilarious, but after 90 minutes of him it's just kinda played out isn't it? I think some parts o the movie are really clever and hilarious - my two favorites are the etiquette class (juxtaposed with the dinner party) and the driving class. But some of the uncomfortable situations... I just end up feeling bad for the people being punked. I mean.... that antique store... that's not really funny so much. At least, knowing it really happened makes it unfunny to me, I guess.

    I dunno. I thought it was funny, but people make it out to be some masterpiece of comedy.... and it's mostly just a glorified episode of Jackass.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Holy cow this was a funny movie. Having seen D Ali G show many times before, I knew what to expect, and I was very suprised at how funny it was. There were at least 3 times where I was laughing as hard as I could. It sent me into coughing fits.

    I about died during the scene where they are wrestling.

    "F off Death" LOL!

    I felt physically uncomfortable watching those fraternity guys. What a bunch of total tools. I wanted to punch them right in the teeth. Actually, I think one of them has been punched in the teeth. Looked like he had some sort of grill in place.

    It was also fun watching him expose certain groups of Americans to be idiots. I like how the rodeo group blindly cheered and hooted at his over the top claims and hopes for the US military in Iraq.

    I give the movie a High Fiiiive! out of Five

    Very nice!
