tag after "has got to".

Hi,
In the first sentence, I'd use the tag "hasn't it", but which tag would you recommmend for the second sentence?

It's with Ben Stiller? Then it has to be a funny film, hasn't it?

It's with Ben Stiller? Then it's has got to be a funny film, .......?

In #2, I'd say 'Doesn't it?' I think I'd say that in #1, as well.

OK, and thanks for the typo correction.

"It has to" has a tag form in "hasn't it". Any ideas why "have got to" doesn't have an equivalent tag form.

And how about: "It's with Ben Stiller? Then it's got to be a funny film, innit"? We hear that tag form when there is no equivalent.

Hi,
I think 'innit' must be British English. I don't hear that in N. America.

Sounds like a British version of "ain't it".

Nope! I know of an elderly couple in Indiana who say innit for everytag!

Hi,
It doesn't sound like it's directly related to 'ain't it' then. Maybe indirectly.

I thought (am I the only one?) that innit was obviously a variant of "isn't it".
It seems to me that "s" before "n" goes missing quite often in fast speech, dunnit?

And we hear "cunnit" and "shunnit", "wunnit", right?
