Worst. Movie. Ever.

Rating: 1/10 (5 July 2007)

Borat has been hailed as the funniest comedy in years. It's getting critical and public acclaim, not to mention huge box office success. I was a doubter - it looked like complete crap to me. Still, I kept hearing only great things, so I had to see for myself.
When I'm right, I'm right. Oh. My. God. Easily THE worst movie I have ever seen in my entire movie-going history. I didn't laugh even once. Not even a chuckle. I just sat and shook my head in complete disbelief. What are people seeing in this pile of crap? I've disagreed with public consensus on many occasions, but not nearly to this degree. What am I missing?!? I actually found myself feeling angry as I sat through this garbage. It wasn't moral objection or disapproval - it was that something so unfunny was receiving so much praise. What the hell?! It's like a bad SNL character/Yakov Smirnoff impression crossed with supposed Jackass-style dupings of unsuspecting victims. I say supposed because much of the film is obviously staged, and for the bits that (possibly) were not, if these people didn't know immediately that they were being put on and it was all a (horribly unfunny) joke, well then they are just complete morons and deserve to look like idiots.
