I managed to see this last night.

It is rude, sexist, offensive, racist and incredibly stupid.

It is utterly fantastic. I haven't laughed so much in such a long time.

I will definately be going back to see it again. Well worth the
 
I enjoyed the film but I'm beginning to wonder how much was real.

In the papers today it apparently reveals that the college boys bit was partly faked. They actually took the boys to a bar to get them drunk them took them to a trailer home that WASN'T EVEN THEIRS to do that bit. What was the point of that.
 
Wonder if Bruno will be in a film soon now everyone knows Borat? He was just as good exposing the irony in the fasion industry. I rememeber one time where by clever questioning he got the woman he was interviewing to give opposite answers to a similar question, then asking her if consistency was important.
 
I disagree. If the people are actors, which I believe many if not most of them were, it ceases to be funny. The point about the tv show was that real people thought Borat was genuine and the laughs came from the increasingly absurd and outrageous things he said to them and seeing how they tried to cope and react. The scenes in the film were so short that you often didnt see any of these reactions. It just becomes a character saying silly things without any context. And if the people are actors where is the humour? The things Borat says and does arent that funny in and of themselves. Its the fact he does it to real people that makes them funny. It just doesnt work when they are actors being paid to react in a certain way to what Borat does.
 
^^ That's actually pretty good, it costs the same for a movie and drink me in the Empire cinema in Newcastle, and keep in mind this is weeks after the film comes out and I'm only 16...
 
Quite a funny film, some of it was difficult to watch (The hotel wrestling was pukeworthy) but plenty hilarious scenes such as the singing on the national anthem at a rodeo and table etiquette.
