Just wanted to point out that Daniel Radcliffe is NOT in the film.
THANK YOU for this. Sascha Baron Cohen is a brilliant but unspeakably exploitative performer whose entire public career has leveraged all manner of racist and bigoted tropes, using the thinnest possible veneer of hipster social commentary. from Ali G to Borat to Bruno to this new creation, his modus gives lefty-liberal-progressives a weirdly easy pretext for masking-yet-justifying all manner of Hate. i'm glad this new movie is flopping...i'm tired of my condition being held over people's heads.

Don't people understand satire any more? Cohen is being labelled a racist and a bigot by the author of this article and his / her equally ignorant supporters. Cohen highlights absurdity and makes fun of it. His message is to question, question, question. Its your choice to see him as racist and a bigot. Try seeing what he is really depicting. He makes fun of racists. He makes fun of intolerance. He makes fun of the absurdity in this world. He does hrough his humour which is mostly satire based.
