Uniquely Funny No Doubt but....

Rating: 8/10 (15 November 2006)

The only question I have is how much of it is spontaneous and how much is staged? That fact notwithstanding,B:CLAMBGNK is definitely a superbly acted, well directed and creative piece of comedy.There were certain scenes from the movie that rocked me out of my chair, almost praying for the comedy to stop lest my stomach turned inside itself.B:CLAMBGNK also presents a very introspective look at the narrow blinder view many Americans have when it comes to 3rd world nations and their people.Borat expounds this naiveté tendency brilliantly albeit controversially. The scene with the frat boys in the RV was pretty telling that racist undertones are very much present even in the 21st century in modern America, yet subtle. Overall this is a new kind of comic genre, sadly one that can be done only once, and then the gig is up and it becomes rote if repeated.On the other hand if it does get repeated, then it just further establishes how stupid and naive people can be. I actually had a colleague ask me which part of Russia this guy was *really* from, London England with a degree from Cambridge was the answer he expected...N O T!
