Borat’s New Movie: Strained, Unfunny


I’m a “Borat” fan, so I’ve been reading reviews of Sascha Baron Cohen‘s new movie with interest. Alas, Variety’s is typical: ‘An engorged animal member delivers the most inspired gag, so to speak, in “The Brothers Grimsby,” a smutty but strained spy spoof in which most of the human-based comedy stays comparatively flaccid.’ Further: ‘it remains to be seen…just how many HIV-AIDS jokes auds are willing to laugh at in an otherwise sparsely filled 82 minutes.’
