Those in Grimsby should take comfort in the knowledge that it wasn't even filmed there, even though it purported to be - however, I reckon that many will think that it was.

Obviously his 'appeal' such as it is, is much wider than I'd thought. <br />I do wonder if those people who do find him funny laugh at the grossness of the event/situation rather than any true comedy value in it. Proper comedy is by no means easy to do. It's an art - and, as you rightly put it, not just a 'fart'.<br />Pleased to have warned you away from this.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-2840550274295866622016-03-02T07:43:13.031-08:002016-03-02T07:43:13.031-08:00Ray,

Maybe a fart joke here and there but other than that, especially hiding in an elephant's vagina, sounds like a paucity of writing talent in the script. Thanks for the review. I have been forwarned.<br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-25541343830515511112016-03-02T06:24:25.748-08:002016-03-02T06:24:25.748-08:00And not in 'Sweeney T.', Bob?

I thought that was when he was the best I've seen him to date. <br />I did think 'Bruno' had some good jokes in it, moreso than 'The Dictator' which itself did make me more than titter a few times. In other words, precisely a 'few times' more than this latest.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-4675741589150164872016-03-02T04:50:55.019-08:002016-03-02T04:50:55.019-08:00I loathe SBC when he's in his own films.
