Slightly let down, but still very funny

Rating: 7/10 (16 November 2006)

I am a huge fan of Borat and all of Cohen's characters, and from the hype I was expecting a comedy masterpiece. I felt that the TV show's jokes were easily as funny as the jokes in the film, the best of which were all contained in the trailer.
A few times throughout the film I felt myself cringing away at what I was seeing. I'd wait for the DVD release of this one in hindsight. One thing it did do was portray the American nation, albeit probably undeservedly, as a nation of naive, ignorant and egotistical people.
I am not sure that it is the Kazak government who are the ones that should be offended on this one.
