Borat (2006)
*** (out of 4)
Well, I finally caught up with this film after skipping it in theaters after seeing "Borat" on several television shows. I thought the TV show appearances were all hit and miss and feared the movie would be the same and it was but there were a lot more hits than misses here. For the most part this was a one joke film and thankfully they kept the running time short even if the 80-minutes started to drag towards the end. Sacha Baron Cohen is very believable in the title role but I wouldn't say he was a very good comedian. I think, like the Jackass crew, he does a great job of making an idiot out of himself but the real comedians come from the regular people and their reactions to Borat. The ending with Pamela Anderson was pretty stupid and really stuck out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the film. Either way, it's nice to see a politically incorrect film in this day and age.
