CGiii Comment
It's official: Sacha Baron Cohen is getting away with cinematic murder...accompanied by an over-arching fascination with anal penetration.
Correction...any kind of penetration!
Yes, there are those who will find it hilarious from start to finish (11 year old boys awaiting their first pube)...
Cohen's intention was - clearly - to shock the knickers off those dear sweet conservatives...he did the job, perfectly. They - who watched - are - well and truly - knickerless.
It's a crap film with 'good' bits and vile bits...perfect for a post-dinner conversation...that is, if the conversation veers towards the snugness of an elephant's uterus...and, the impending copulative drenching!
Watch it...it is screamingly funny and festeringly foul in equal measures.
Then...there are the HIV/Aids 'jokes'...sorry Mr Cohen, you crossed a line, over-stepped the mark...most foul indeed.
Overall, a deep sense of revulsion prevails.

The(ir) Blurb...
MI6's top assassin (Mark Strong) has a brother. Unfortunately for him, he's an English football supporter (Sacha Baron Cohen) from the town of Grimsby. Nobby has everything a man from the poor English fishing town of Grimsby could want - 9 children and the most attractive girlfriend in northern England (Rebel Wilson). There's only one thing missing in his life: his little brother, Sebastian. After they were adopted by different families as children, Nobby spent 28 years searching for him. Upon hearing of his location, Nobby sets off to reunite with his brother, unaware that not only is his brother an MI6 agent, but he's just uncovered a plot that puts the world in danger. On the run and wrongfully accused, Sebastian realizes that if he is going to save the world, he will need the help of its biggest idiot.
