Greatly overrated

Rating: 5/10 (20 November 2006)

Based on what I've been reading, I thought "Borat" was going to be one of the funniest films I'd ever expect to see. It wasn't. Aside from a FEW side-splitting laughs, it was a mess. The scenes in Kazakhstan were out of focus. Polish was inserted where Kazahkstani should have been. It was most disparaging to our Jewish neighbors. The scatolology was everywhere and almost in everything. The story, at times, became incoherent. It clearly showed signs of being "Candid Camera" in which notables never knew they were being "had." Funny films most certainly can have excellent story lines and be in good taste. "Borat" failed on both counts.
