My name a Borat...who the hell cares

Rating: 1/10 (15 November 2007)

Was this supposed to be funny? I sat there and watched this movie with my friends, it was a normal, quiet evening. Then I realized....it was QUIET! Where were the laughs? There were none to be had! I was sitting there for literally an hour wondering "when does the comedy start?" All I heard were the same jokes used over and over and over and over, and they weren't even funny the first time. First off, this movie's racism is sad. They make it look like Kazakhstan is a poor, dirty country with absolutely no common sense in the outside world whatsoever. Borat himself is a complete and total moron. That doesn't mean the whole country is. Also, his wife, I think she was the best character there. All he does is bad mouth her, while she actually does work. Then she tells him not to cheat on her, and once he gets to America, the poor woman dies so he goes after Pam Anderson. What an idiot. Then there were the awful gay and Jewish jokes. The gay jokes were just lame, and the whole naked fight scene with his partner was just stupid. The Jewish jokes were by far the worst. All he did was make fun of Jewish people. If I recall correctly, Kazakhstan's 2nd main religion is Judaism. Why did they even bother trying to estimate what Kazakhstanians are like? They failed miserably. The Bed & Breakfast scene made me mad. That wasn't funny at all, those people were nice to Borat and all he did was make fun of them then run out in the middle of the night. I would have chased him down and shot him in the face. Over all, don't even bother with this movie. And a suggestion to IMDb: Please make a 0 star option, it would have really come in handy with this god awful excuse for a movie.
