Reviews of SBC performance in Les Miserably are in
On the acting
(Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter, garishly over-the-top even by the characters' standards)
PAINFUL GARISH ACTING
Cohen and Carter play the comic relief, but they’re essentially out of a Tim Burton caricature, and their entire sections are painful and garishly predictable.

On the singing
Baron Cohen, who can be a daring movie comedian, is no help here. He turns in a sloppy interpretation, singing the first chorus with a French accent (perhaps because it contains the phrase bon viveur) before settling on a sneering English vocal stereotype.

SOUNDS LIKE BORAT SINGING
If we’re talking about distracting singing though, let’s not leave out Sacha Baron Cohen. I mean he’s funny and it’s not a badly cast Thenadier, and obviously Helena Bonham Carter is wonderful, but when it comes to the songs, Cohen sings them with what’s presumably a cockney accent mimicking a French one and the effect of it is that...to me at least...it sounded like I was hearing Borat perform Master Of The House. Let me know if you hear the same.

ON THE LIVE SINGING GIMMICK AS A WHOLE
The opportunistic Les Misérables proceeds from the assumption that virtuosity is paramount and authenticity is self-evident, which is why it so confidently emphasizes the novelty of live singing. It seems obvious within minutes that the effect was difficult to achieve, and it's the film's hope that our awareness of that difficulty will be enough to impress; like a metal guitarist tearing into a conspicuously elaborate solo, the point isn't so much that it sounds pleasing, but that the act of pulling it off looks impressive. Flaws—and there are a great many that would have never made the cut were this a perfectible studio recording—are conveniently swept under the rug of candid expression, a necessary consequence of the film's more virtuous approach to be regarded less as mistakes than as proof of its sincerity. What's especially galling about all of this isn't that it smacks of underhanded exploitation (though playing off our skepticism of cinematic artifice to exaggerate its pursuit of something real is indeed a cheap strategy), or even that it presumes superiority over those comparatively stale and phoned-in musicals that deign instead to record songs the easy way. No, the worst quality of Les Misérables's live singing is simply that is puts too much pressure on a handful of performers who frankly cannot sing.
(i wonder who they mean by that ?)

Anne Hathaway does the only Freddie Mercury in this movie.
The song "I Dreamed a Dream" is given vivid potency by Anne Hathaway in an unforgettable example of emotionally-naked singing.
Because of her potent rendering of the song, Hathaway is now with Sally Field (Lincoln) one of the two leading candidates for the Best Supporting Oscar.
Questionable casting of Sacha Cohen
His Singing a show-slower, his acting unfunny and drably functional.
On stage, the song "Master of the House" was a show-stopper. In the movie, it's a show-slower.
The master is played by Sacha Baron Cohen in the film's most questionable casting.
Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter, who portrays his wife, are surprisingly unfunny. Instead of providing clever zest, they are only drably functional.

How will you see? when it is obvious you have no critical faculties whatsoever to judge by.
