Possibly the funniest movie EVER

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2006)

Yes that's right folks - I'll go there. Borat is not the funniest movie of the year, of the millennium or of the past ten years - it is the funniest movie ever. I have never laughed so hard and so often as I did watching this film. Sacha Baron Cohen is a comic genius, and should be commended for his work here. Go to this movie expecting to be offended, because I simply can't think of a group here he doesn't poke fun at. Jews, gays, women - all are touched on, but in such a way that the offensive nature of the film reveals the bigoted nature of his (I can only assume) clueless co-stars. Cohen himself is orthodox Jewish, so for him the jokes are purely that - jokes. However, you'll see that such is not necessarily the case for those around him. Even if you align with a group that is targeted, if you can see the fun intended by the movie, it will keep you laughing for hours. (Being Jewish myself, I still found the Running of the Jew and "cockroach" scenes to be among the best in the movie.) Folks, this is one movie you must see before you die. Days later I'm still quoting it with the many friends I saw it with, and am planning at least one more trip to the theaters to see it again.
Easily gets a 10/10
