Uncomfortable
I can't go along with the popular view of this film. This is difficult comedy. Its difficult in the way that Lenny Bruce is difficult. You can rationalise it or just go with the flow but the ugly naked guy wrestling and the jokes riding on jew-bashing and so on are not, to me, the stuff of easy slapstick. Now I am not saying this is antisemitic or anything like it; its the opposite, but I just felt uncomfortable and didn't laugh more than very occasionally.

Cringe Brilliance
This film kind of passed me by at first. I couldn't understand how Borat could fill an hour and half of movie without becoming repetitive and boring - How wrong I was!
This film will have you cringing in your seat within minutes. Do Americans have any sense of humour?
Of coarse most of Borat's encounters were with people who actually thought he was being serious! I sat there wondering to myself, how many of these meetings were setups and came to the conclusion that most of the reactions were just too convincing to be actors.
Borat makes fun of every taboo subject you can think of race, religion, rape, sex, war, terrorism, you name it and it gets it. If you’re easily offended then this is not a film for you. However if you are open-minded and have a coarse sense of humour, then you will love it.
Pure brilliance for me! -
