Just don't call it the best comedy of all-time

Rating: 7/10 (27 January 2007)

Borat is funny. But to say it's one of the best comedy of our time or even of the last few years is just over the top. And I just don't buy the argument that this is a great movie because of the social commentary it makes. Please! We learn nothing that we didn't already know about the extent of the bigotry of some or the stupidity of others. But again, Borat is funny. Put your brain in neutral and just enjoy. Don't get influence by the fact that you could be the victim of the guy's antics. The movie is slightly above average, but you've got to be in the mood to see it.
Seen in Toronto, at the Fox Cinema, on January 20th, 2007.
78/100 (**½)
