Repetitive

Rating: 6/10 (29 January 2007)

If this movie was created from scratch, I'd give it a 9. However, I've already seen virtually every joke from his TV show, I knew what he was going to do from the start of every skit. There were no new catch phrases or scenes that didn't strike me as being very similar to a scene from his show. It feels like Borat is basically selling out, he is giving up the innovation you could see from episode to episode of the show to a bigger budget film with nicer camera shots, editing etc... One could say that this is simply the evolution of his style, people often use this argument to say that Miles Davis never sold out, but I digress. The movie is funny, but I would recommend it only if you haven't seen/have seen little of Borat.
