Full Review (Spoilers)

This movie was an utter waste of time. It’s filled with the same jokes and gags from other Sasha Baron Cohen movie that just get old over the passing years. I’m not sure who thought this movie should receive a production budget but they should get fired. If you like his kind of humor then go for it, otherwise save yourself the trouble and don’t watch it. You’re not really missing much.

DC's Hypothetical Corner

Let’s say I change one thing. Maybe that one thing will make this movie better or more watchable.

I’d come up with new jokes instead of recycling the same gags from his other movies.
