Superior comedy!

Rating: 9/10 (20 April 2008)

Hello - now this is a comedy I did not expect. This has to be the funniest movie in 10 years, and it also makes a very strong case for 'unscripted' humor. Sure, Borat's crew knew what was going on, but you just can't predict just how (hilariously) stupefied people will become by the main character's dizzyingly-funny political incorrectness (a horse also falls over). Borat famously came under fire and was sued by some of his unwitting subjects after the movie's release. Many enraged folks, young and old, were shocked by this incredible humor. Me? I just say the lawsuits gave LEGAL proof that this movie is hilarious! All this attention gave "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan" some much-deserved promotion, and left viewers in either the loved it/hated it camp. I say it is the most fantastic comedy in many years. I give it a 9 only because I think there was probably a funnier movie made at some point, I just don't remember what it was right now. Borat pushes all the right buttons and Sasha Baron Cohen proves that this character is a true entertainment breakthrough.
