Paramount Gets Sacha Baron Cohen Film
(After Actor & Agency Get Studio's Goats)
Nikki Finke and Mike Fleming, Deadline, 27th April 2010The latest vehicle from cult comedian Marc Wootton, who doesn't so much possess balls of steel as nuts of purest kryptonite. In the guise of three wannabees (including fake psychic Shirley Ghostman) he jets into LA and wastes everybody's time, leaving real-life publicists, producers and acting coaches hollow-eyed, burnt-out wraiths after their encounters. Even Sacha Baron Cohen must draw the line somewhere, but Wootton regularly scampers back and forth across that line like a happy puppy.

Dan French, Digital Spy, 22nd January 2010Best films of the noughties No 2: Borat
Sacha Baron Cohen's fantastic satirical invention was unleashed on the world in 2006, and we've been recovering ever since.
Andrew Pulver, The Guardian, 31st December 2009Tonightly is a three-week 11 O'Clock Show-style aberration that's part of Channel 4's Generation Next strand. So-called because that's where they'll all be working in six months time.
Particularly the hosts. Pub funny comedian Jason Manford, who so wants to be Peter Kay it hurts, and his hypnotically awful assistant Andi 'Err' Osho, who's no rabbit in the headlights... she's road kill in the highlights.
There's a team of 12 - TWELVE! - writers who've clearly watched The Daily Show, with Jon Stewart, but forgot to take any notes. The show hits the screens at five past 11. They start work on the script at about five to 11.
Admirable as it is to encourage young comics, they really should start using them again. Because the evidence suggests Britain hasn't got talent. It's just got a lot of deluded students who all think they're the next Sacha Baron Cohen.
