Very funny film.  Belly-laughs from start to finish for me.  That's not an exaggeration either.  I'd just eaten a curry with a couple of mates before going to see the film, and because of the force and consistency with which I was laughing, I was really in a lot of pain!  I kept wishing for unfunny moments to come so the pain of laughing would go away.  Alas, that didn't happen until we'd left the cinema.

I AGREE 100%

You're not going to start an argument voicing your opinions on a film (only if you start attacking another nation), however it would be nice to know why you don't find it funny, pathetic and so on. Not just what scenes made you think this, but why (as already asked by Mr. Tully).

So bummed I missed this in the cinema.I'll definitly see it when it comes out.My parents saw it and hated it but I don't think they understand the humor.Cohen is fantastic at what he does: makes fun of steriotypes.

I found parts very funny (the naked guys bit especially) but parts very worrying not because of American bashing as frankly American are more intelligent than people give them credit (proven by all the awards it won) but for the clear "using" of the native Romanians.

I didn't find the start funny as I knew they weren't "in on the joke". Overall decent but also very worrying.

Was the Pamela Anderson scene for real? I'm inclined to think not (she comes across as a good sport) but it was hard to tell. Oh please reply with some type of spoiler tag.

It's Fox so that means Blu-ray (in the UK anyway). Fox don't support HD-DVD.

IMO Cohen is bloody hilarious and this is one of the funniest movies ever.  A definate purchase.  

Hopefully a HD-DVD release is on the cards.
