Possibly one of the greatest satire comedies ever made. Similar value to the film "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood", for calling out the democratic state America is in for the things it is commonly criticized for, its comedy and message is top tier.
If satire comedy easily offends you (for instance you dislike shows like Family Guy), this movie obviously isn't for you and is never advertised as such. It has a decent amount of dark humor and there are no-holds-barred. Jokes ranging from racist, sexist, political, etc. Are all vulgar and crude, but that's the point of such jokes. For its satirical and comedic value, as well as its filmic presentation, the film stands above Cohen's others (such as Borat) and should stand the test of time.
Only con is that some jokes can be a bit far, but as a viewer it is necessary to realize that all of them are jokes and meant to be crude in fashion and, as soon as realizing this, can go back to laughing once it's over. The pro to this is that (if you're a fan of satire), while some jokes might not land, there is almost a guaranteed belly laugh at some point.
It's always nice to see a satire comedy that has more than just jokes, but a meaningful message behind its story.
