Sweeney Todd
StaedlerMars:
See, I like Cohen, he's similar to mr. bean. People don't realize how smart he really is.
The guy who plays mr. bean (i'm sure he has a name), is a genius, and so is sacha baron cohen. It's just people can't take him serious because of the roles he has played in his past.
For the record... I didn't like borat.
ampersandwitch:
Mr Bean = Rowan Atkinson.
Man is fucking hilarious, but hopelessly, irredeemably British.
leave for no raisin:

I've never been a big Bean fan, but I do think that Sacha Baron Cohen is intelligent. I don't like Ali G, but I thought Borat was pretty funny the first time. He apparently had to spend the night in jail a couple of times while filming Borat, and he never broke character. I'm not questioning his talent, I just think being in Sweeney Todd is a HUGE change in direction for him. I'm really interested to see how he pulls it off.
Lines:
I really like Rowan Atkinson because I think he's funny with just about everything he does. There's just something about Cohen that rubs me the wrong way and I just never thought he was funny. Maybe this movie will change my opinion of him, but I think it'd just be because he made a smart move and was able to get a role in a good story with a good group of people.
Katherine:
I feel the same way, Linds. People are always telling me how funny and smart Sacha Baron Cohen is, I just don't see it.
Mr. Bean on the other hand is positively hilarious.
