Funniest movie I have ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2006)

I was lucky enough to view an advance screening of this movie. Before attending the screening, I did a little background research. A lot of what I read about the movie pointed out that the movie was both extremely funny and controversial. Having seen the trailer, I thought of both statements as a little hyped up.
They weren't. This was honestly the funniest movie I have ever seen in my entire life. It was funnier than every other comedy I have ever seen in my life (including the Borat interludes in the Ali G show) - old or recent - thoughtful or commercial. Consider this in light of the fact that I am not greatly amused with most comedies I watch - I might chuckle and laugh a bit at the Frat Pack flicks, and smile at the Woody Allen works. Here though, I was literally unable to stop laughing from the very beginning of the movie until the end, at which point, I had to hold back because my cheeks had become sore.
Two of my other friends who came with me agree with me in that it was the funniest movie they have ever seen - although they knew nothing about Borat or Ali G before the screening. The audience in the theater was also enthusiastic - besides the constant laughter, there were several standing ovations.
I somewhat debated giving this movie a 10 but I ended up doing so because I do not think I will ever see something as funny as this. Looking back, it was a unique experience and if you think you can get past the "offense" you will probably agree with me as well as the thousands of others who watched and favorably rated the movie.
