Misunderstood

Whoever wrote the last review must not know a lot about movies at all.. This movie was suppose to a knock off of Borat without all the sexually oriented humor. Although some of the humor seemed like he was trying to hard to maintain his 1990s pot head humor, he really wasn't funny then and isn't funny now. Don't really know what people was expecting from this movie. I knew the movie wasn't going to win a Emmy or a Oscar and I wasn't let down.

Final Note:

If you like Borat. It is worth watching.

If you don't like Borat you will hate this movie.

Exploiting young children

Worst movie. Most black exploitation of young children. So horrible.

Some good laughs

I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie as Pauly hasn't really had much come out in a while, however the cover caught my eye off the bat as ridiculous. As many others I thought it might just be awful, however with an open mind and taking Shore's humor into consideration I watched it. I'm sorry but it's a MOCKumentary and it's a good one. I think some of the jokes could be found offensive if this were a documentary and Shore genuinely believed the stereotypes to be true, however it isn't. I think this is Shore's funniest stuff in a long time. In addition, I enjoyed seeing Africa, it looked beautiful. So all in all it is not for all, if you don't like Shore to begin with you will not like this movie, but if you are open to the comedy of it's worth the time to watch.

Pauly is the best

Great movie!!!! I'm a fan of Pauly so I knew what to expect and it was that and more. Some of it was a little bit over the line but that's why I watch Pauly Shore for comedy. Nowadays everybody is tip toeing around like they're in the library. It's nice to see the great Mitzi Shore's son being himself and not letting cancel culture over take him publicly!!!!

The best thing is he literally just released this video on YouTube a month ago. In the funny, comedy world, I would compare it to Guest House, Bio Dome, and Encino Man. If you watch his podcast or podcast that he is a guest on you will also relayed it to this beautiful comedy.

Thank you, Pauly Shore.

Actually...

Adopted is not a cheap knockoff. Adopted was in the works before Borat was, thus the brief discussion in 2009 of Shore suing Baron Cohen since Shore's project came first (though this was later said to be to "mess with people" without any actual intention of suing).

The movie bluntly addresses some very sensitive topics; however, the intention is not merely to "shock." I believe Shore achieves his goals to: expand his audience's views of his range as an actor, director, producer, writer; illuminate the hypocrisy of individuals who attempt to help a continent by removing its children rather than sending support; and finally to create a funny and thoughtful piece that allows the viewer to consider what is real and what is scripted.
