Love the film but really love the HBO series more

Rating: 9/10 (7 November 2006)

Don't get me wrong. I love this movie and will see it another 2 or 3 times before it comes out on DVD. Just thinking about certain segments and lines from the film have made me laugh out loud. That being said, I feel all the praise and buzz about this film should really be devoted to the HBO Da Ali G Show which is superior to this film, great as it is. As a long time fan of Mr. Cohen's, I'm glad to see him get the recognition he deserves as well as happy that those who didn't follow his HBO show have their first exposure to this genius but again, I think his HBO series is superior to the film.
In the HBO series,watching Borat go house hunting or canvassing for votes with a mid-western Republican party candidate are among some of the most tear inducing and choking from laughter experiences I've ever had in front of the TV screen.
