I'm feeling a little better with this trailer.

This actually looks pretty funny. Although there is no way he would even get to the top of the fence at the UN building. Just saying.

I think Sasha Baron Cohen is smarter than he looks (or how he present himself). You can't make a good social satire without some wits in you.

This trailer has warmed me up a little but still probably won't bother. Maybe an iTunes / Netflix grab.

As someone who is also partial to females with short black hair, it doesn't suit Anna.

But yeah, a definite improvement over the first trailer. Not sure I'll see it at the movies but I won't go out of my way to avoid it now.

ill join in on the "ok this looks better" crowd. Also, regarding Anna Faris, Im the opposite of Rorie, the first time I her (scary movie 1?) she was a brunette, so when she switched to blonde that really threw me off (since, like rorie, Im a brunette man myself).

edit: yeah it was Scary Movie

After the first trailer there was no interest in this movie. This one makes it look entertaining.

Anna Faris is hot, but she looks horrible with short hair.

Its nice to see this movie will have a story instead of the classic Cohen sketch: an over the top character trying to force reactions out of people...

The opening scene with the race had me laughing out loud.

Anna Faris does look a bit odd with that hair style and color but she's still cute as a button.

I'm sortof glad he's gotten away from the documentary style realism in his films (as in follow him while he does his thing with real people and film their reactions) and gone for a proper comedy, my feeling with this change though is that it will not do very well money-wise.

Suppose he couldn't keep doing it for so long he's way too famous now.

I'm in love with short haired Anna Ferris! Okay okay, hyperbole. But really I think she looks great, I didn't even recognize her at first.
