Are we really so shallow...

Rating: 1/10 (24 November 2006)

I am offended by the assumption that Americans are so shallow and stupid that we won't realize that this extremely over-rated and over-hyped film is neither funny nor meaningful. There were two spots that were funny enough to elicit a laugh, and those were weak slapstick which aren't memorable enough for comment now - one week after viewing.
Borat! makes its point if the point has to do with how disgusting human animals are or how the only thing a woman is good for is sex or the true nature of men is more debased than that of a common farm swine. Otherwise, it is pointless.
Women, beware. I doubt this film depicts men in the U.S. realistically, but if these scenes are, indeed, unscripted then we are the target of some really bizarre and insulting ideas. Venus, anyone?
