Genius Comedy

Rating: 8/10 (9 March 2007)

There was quite a lot of uproar in regards to this film, and anyone who watches would see why. I honestly think that it isn't Sacha Baron Cohen, who was absolutely hilarious in character Borat, but the ugly racism that he uncovered on his trip. However, that was the only deepness within this gut-busting comedy. Not for years have I seen a comedy film that has had me laughing as hard as I was watching this. You could consider these jokes as being likewise to the Jackass or any other gross-out comedy, but this has intelligence & a style all of its own. Cohen touched the screen with a marvelous comedy that I don't think he can ever do again because of infamous popularity & cult status. Granted he was sued many times over, had the cops called on him nearly 100 times during production & caused an enormous amount of controversy in the press, he succeeded in making a cinematic classic & deserves his film to watched for years to come. Although, some of the jokes will age the film, I don't feel this film will ever get old, but will be rediscovered by new generations of cult comedy film lovers.
