Positive Aspects:

Sacha Baron Cohen’s sense of comedy stands out in this dysfunctional and unconventional character.

Entrepreneurial hustle and the satire on it presented in this film is smart and well articulated.

The role of Ken Jeong adds humor in tension which corresponds with the chief storyline.

Negative Aspects:

The adult nature of the humour presented in the film is likely to be unappealing to a section of the audience.

A few plot devices appear too improbable even for a comedy that may appeal to some sections of the audience.
