The Boston Globe:

A comic put-on of awe-inspiring crudity and death-defying satire and by a long shot the funniest film of the year. It is "Jackass" with a brain. [Hey! I liked Jackass!]

The Weekly Dig:

In advance screenings, audiences have reacted to Cohen’s act with hysterical, out-of-control guffaws—or at least that’s what happened in oh-so-enlightened Cambridge and Boston. But I have to wonder: Will average dipshit Americans find this stuff funny when they see that they themselves are the butt of the joke?

Twentieth Century Fox seems to be considering this as well—for its opening, the movie was dropped from over 2,000 theatres to about 800. Although Cohen pulls no punches with his outrageous behavior, he and director Larry Charles (along with a gaggle of other screenwriters) have at least honed the film so that it will play to minimal attention spans.
