Borat make audience go wa-wee-wee-wa!

Rating: 10/10 (26 September 2006)

I saw this movie last night at a preview session at the Capri, Goodwood (SA, Australia). It's not due for a release here until 23rd Nov. I must say initially I was extremely skeptical of the film, having seen the the Ali G movie years ago and getting sick of all the 'punani' jokes. This film however gave me a headache from laughing so much, I was exhausted after viewing the film! There shouldn't be a problem for religious and racial groups(as this film sets out to offend everyone!), but Kazakhstan I can understand having a problem (maybe). I actually feel it is the American people who may come off worst after this film is released (see Pentecostal church scene, frat boys in Winnebago, the people at the Rodeo and the couples in Birmingham, bystanders in NY etc etc.) There is a loose plot and while funny, is not the central focus of the film (quite paradoxically). Watch out for the Kazakh wedding sack! PS Pamela Anderson's credibility with me has sky rocketed! I believe a film like this says what we all have been wanting to say but were too afraid to, or even laugh at. In a ultra-Politically Correct world, we are losing the ability to laugh at ourselves. This corrects that! This film will get edited (Guaranteed), so if you get tickets to a preview, go see it. This is the comedy version of Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Last Temptation of Christ, the edited version will always be an injustice (or banned for that matter).
I consider myself one of the lucky few!
