My fave part was when the kids came running up to the ice cream truck.......

I saw it and thought it was funny but not as funny as everyone was making it out to be. I personally like the Ali G character better.

Watched it, hated it, Kelly loved it.

I loved it. Great movie. Seen it twice and laughed just as much the second time.

Hahaha....that movie has a weird place in my head. I laughed like crazy throughout the movie...but there are now images burned into my brain that I'd just as soon not be there.


I can certainly see how it can be a "love it" or "hate it" movie, but I don't fall into either category. For sure, it was probably the most unique movie I've seen in.....ever? LOL

I think it was way less "stupid comedy" than I thought it was going to be. Yes, it had some of the slap-stick and ridiculousness...but it was also a VERY honest look at Americans.

All of those people that he was encountering were REAL people, not actors... the song he sang in the country-western bar? The one that made you cringe and then feel horrified when the crowd starts MERRILY SINGING ALONG? Those are real people. The guy at the rodeo, advising him to change his name/the way he talks so people don't think he's a terrorist? A real person. The people swearing at Borat and being jerks on the subway? Real people.

I actually think that, below the weirdness, it's a commentary about the America that the rest of us like to ignore. We like to pretend that our country's beyond the anti-semetic, sexist, homophobic and racist place that it used to be...but in some places it's just not.

It made me really think about were we live It was a brilliant film.

Are you sure none of that was "staged"? It really was people that had no clue "Borat" wasn't a real person, and that he was just making a real movie?
