Awful! Do NOT waste your time

Warning: Spoilers
Where do I even start with this terrible movie? We've all seen the previews with some funny one-liners, and yes, those one liners were amusing. But it's like they used them all up, and everything you see in the previews, that's IT. There are no other funny lines in the film other than what you see in the previews. I made it through exactly 35 minutes of this movie before I had to leave. It was just plain offensive on so many levels (and as a "liberal" it takes a lot to offend me). I literally have dozens of gay friends and I've never met anyone like the Bruno character. And the way the film portrays other races and groups......again, offensive. All the stereotypes portrayed in the movie (gay, black, middle Eastern, etc.) have all been done ad nauseum, and were portrayed disrespectfully. Is this all that Cohen can do? What a piece of crap. Is he trying to shock us? If he is, he didn't succeed with the movie's content. What shocks me is that I was suckered into paying 8 bucks for the ticket. Do not waste your time or money.
