Politically incorrect beyond belief but very funny... NOT!

Rating: 5/10 (5 January 2007)

I was one of the few guys that bought the Borat hype. How a bunch a serious critics claimed this film was one of the greatest and funniest comedies of the decade. The truth is this movie pushes the limit of political incorrectness, and... that's about it.
Funny it ain't. All it was a series of stale, stupid, primitive jokes that aren't funny. I don't mind scatological humor when it's well done and witty. But this wasn't.
I like my good Political Incorrectness quota in my comedies. But really, there's has to be more to it to make people laugh. I've laughed my ass off watching R-rated comedies; "There's Something About Mary", "Fargo" and "Crimen ferpecto" almost brought me to tears. "Borat" didn't.
It's incredible what passes these days as good (sophisticated or raw) comedy. Uh! The wonders and magic of publicity and media hype.
Well, I can always have my "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and "Reno 911!" on TV for some Polical Incorrectness AND some hysterical laughs.
