    • Trivia
      In an interview, Sacha Baron Cohen said of Donald Trump's appearance in the film: "Yeah, Donald, he loves my work," he sighs. "When I called him up, he was very excited. He worked for about a week; he was great. We gave him a wrap gift and he worked for minimum wage." He laughs. "No, (the footage [of Trump in the film]) wasn't real. We didn't get permission."

      Sebastian Graves: Trust you? Trust you? Because of you, the head of the World Health Organisation is dead and Harry Potter has AIDS. You managed to do in three seconds what Voldemort failed to do in eight movies!

    • Crazy credits
      Contains both a mid-credit and post-credit scene.
    • Alternate versions

    7/10
    Great Parody, Gross Humour, overall a really funny movie
    I laughed a lot at this movie, and that is the soul criteria I measure a comedy on. Did I laugh? Yes! This movie had a lot of funny scenes (especially if you understand the English).

    It's not his finest work, but it's a very good comedy overall. Good take on the working English class, Football Hooligans, Spy Movies.

    To the people trashing this movie, clearly they are offended by the very offside humour in this picture. I thought they where too much truthfully at times (Elephant Scene), but overall it didn't ruin the many other funny moments in this movie.

    Definitely worth a watch, lots of fun.
