'Scarface'.... starring Bugs Bunny as Tony Montana

Am I the only one that found Uday unintentionally funny and cartoonish? He was like Bugs Bunny with those goofy teeth and that irritating silly high pitched whiny voice.
I'd love to see a re-edit of this film by the Zucker Brothers.

I'm very surprised at the 7.1 rating, and all the serious discussions surrounding this film. It's just a shallow 'Made-for-TV' quality film with gratuitous teen slasher flick style framed gore/shock scenes.

Yea, we get it. Uday is an evil psycho bastard. This film is just a bunch of 'evil bastard' scenes designed to shock or disgust. Everything in-between the "look how evil Uday is" scenes is just WTF filler nonsense. There's no real plot.
Just like a made-for -TV movie, the bad guys are REALLY bad and the good guys are REALLY good. Throw in the 'hooker with a heart of gold' cliche, and you've locked in the lowest common denominator.

Latif was doing a Jesus impression. Sarrab was like animated Tupperware doing a parody of Mae West.
Saddam looked like a superimposed CGI afterthought.... oddly portrayed as an autistic Mexican unable to form complete sentences. (Was he really that catatonic in real life?)
The sex scenes were as generic and silly as any late 1970's MTV hard rock video.

I've been reading IMDB for a decade, but I just now registered in order to vent about just how irritatingly stupid this film is.
It's abhorrently over-rated at 7.1

What a worked up moron you come across as.

On IMDB for a decade yet you aren't aware of when MTV started?

This just sounds like your sensibilities were offended and you're taking it out on anyone unfortunate enough to read this thread.

I'd substitute Freddie Mercury for Bugs Bunny, to be honest...

I think it gets the rating just because the story itself is so interesting, not necessarily because the telling of it is any good... (That said, Dominic Cooper's acting is a plus)

I rated it 1. It's based on a moronic narcissist's fairytale and has numerous unforgivable factual, historical and geographical errors.

I was almost expecting him so say "What's Up, Doc?"

I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my Squishy.

I was looking forward to this film for ages and then i watched it. Oh boy, major disappointment. Uday is played like a cartoon villain and those teeth were ridiculous. I can't believe they left in the goof where his false teeth fall out either. What a joke.
