8 Movies From 2016 That Deserve A Second Chance

“Your face will be a rictus of horror,” warned Empire about this Sacha Baron Cohen comedy, where a slob gets mixed up with spies, assassins and a plot to eradicate working class scum from the face of the planet.

In fact, the movie has bigger cojones than any other comedy released in 2016 and keeps the spirit of Viz Comics alive and well as it gets down and dirty with jokes about welfare cheats, AIDS patients and, best of all, Donald Trump.

After discovering that his long lost brother (Mark Strong) is a crack MI6 agent, Baron Cohen ends up attempting to thwart a plot to release a virus in Santiago, where England are gearing up to defeat Germany in the World Cup (yeah, right). When Baron Cohen’s gun accidentally goes off, the bullet hits AIDS patient Daniel Radcliffe (don’t ask), whose blood then infects Trump.

This is low-grade, unsophisticated humor, so feel free to share the footage and post memes.
