Sacha Baron Cohen

The film's consistent ticklishness frequently breaks out into uproarious set pieces.

No film in the history of cinema has succeeded in being more 'outrageously funny'...

What a pleasure it is, then, to report that Burton's version tends more to the abattoir than the amusement park...

Energetic, fast-paced, and pumped full of zany humor...sure to entertain the younguns and be fairly painless for their guardians.

Ribbing for your pleasure, Brüno is crafted to cause a flurry of varied reactions, even within a single viewer.

Cohen's act wears thin...still, The Dictator has several memorable moments...

A mixed bag of suitable and not-so-suitable choices. On balance, though, it's about as compelling a screen version of Les Mis as we have any right to expect...Pop a dramamine and you'll be fine.

[SPOILER-FREE:] Laugh-out-loud funny...transcends offensiveness by holding a mirror up to the very worst of human impulses, making us laugh at crimes against humanity not because the satirists don't care but precisely because they do.
