I guess this will be his “Man on the Moon” (sort of)

I’m still waiting for his “Moment” film.

he was pretty good in Talladega and Borat was classic.
Loved his Ali G show on HBO but the film was cheesy.

so all his Cartooney Caracters are pretty much out of the way now.
so lets see if the acting chops are truly there.

his vision to get laughs is pretty cool, so I’ll still give him some slack till he proves otherwise (He’s definitly NO Russel Brand-THANK GOD!)

I have a(almost) Peter Sellers kinda hope for this guy, hope I’m right

Cant stand the guy myself, so I wouldn’t want to see this on his name alone. Sorry, I just don’t like him at all and don’t find him particularly funny either.

Maybe by doing something serious as this I might change my mind about him if he is actually good.

In reply to Ryan. I think he's a good actor as well, after seeing his performance in Sweeney Todd.

He doesn’t need to step away from comedy at all — one mediocre comedy doesn’t ruin a career of good work. He’ll just need to do something a little different.

As for this movie… I’m interested. I actually think he’s a decent actor.
