[Movie] Borat (The Movie)

I plan to see this one, too. I've seen previews as far back as last winter and I've wanted to see it since.

I can't help but to feel embarassed for "Borat" the entire time, though. He's got balls. Which makes this HILARIOUS. I would pay money to see a more sophicated and political version of Jackass, sure.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I should say first: It's important to have a crowd with you in the theatre who is open-minded and won't get all pissy when they see and hear a lot of these jokes. There's a LOT of indirect, subtle insults coming at you non-stop - some very direct, hilarious insults.

When the audience is laughing along WITH you, it's great. When they show no sense of humor toward this brand of comedy, it's really a drag.

Anyways, I thought the movie was among the most hilarious I've seen. You laugh NON-STOP, and its really not forced laughter. The plot, albeit shallow and silly, is hardly even applicable to the underlying point.

The laughter never gets stale and everything is constantly staying fresh. I was a little worried about what Cohen does usually - same old schtick - but he proved me wrong.

I was so pleased with this film. I am amazed at how good it was.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
