You need to watch the trailer. Its funnier then most comedy movies these days. Shit, I would pay to see this trailer in a theatre over that piece of shit movie tropic thunder.
Thank god i wasnt the only 1 who thought tropic thunder was a peice of shit!
Anyway! back to topic!
His a winner in my books even if the movie flopz!
I hope this is a sign that he might make an ali-g "reality" movie, but the character maybe too well known to be able to pull off.

I mean, I hate to break it to some of you guys, but camera guys/sound crews are not, in fact, invisible.
Well his cover is that he's a TV presenter for various fictional TV channels which would explain the camera's and sound crew to most of these people. They're not exactly fine examples of American intelligence.
I can't believe people are still falling for his stuff. I thought everyone knew about his characters... Didn't he win a golden globe award for his role in Borat?
The production team also deceived former presidential candidate Ron Paul into being interviewed by Bruno by posing as an Austrian TV show looking to question the congressman about economic issues. According to sources at Slate magazine, the interview starts out normally, but after a staged technical error, Bruno suggests he and Dr. Paul wait in the other room while the crew fixes a light. It is there that Bruno turns on music and begin dancing, which Ron Paul ignores at first. However, as soon as Bruno drops his pants, the congressman storms out of the room. A spokeswoman for Paul commented on the incident. She said Cohen's people were very deceptive in their tactics. At the time, she thought they were "legitimate," but now confesses to some concern. "I'm familiar with his work, so you can imagine how I feel about it," she said. Jesse Benton, senior vice president of Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty organization and former campaign spokesman for Paul, said Paul was not familiar with Cohen's HBO program, Da Ali G Show. "If it's not on hard-core financial news, he doesn't follow it," Benton said. But, he added, "It sounds like it's going to be pretty funny." [8]

The Ali G Show in da USA (HBO) is waaay better than the original. You realise the British version (BBC) is scripted right? Meaning most people in the show know that he is a prankstar.
Whereas in the American version, no one knows who he is, so it's real pranks.
Also the "Austrian Gay TV" part was from the HBO version.
