 I'm one of the few who haven't seen a single Borat segment - I don't know how I completely missed them, but I never would have even known about Borat if my pal Chris wasn't always talking about him. In fact, I probably wouldn't even have heard of Kazakhstan if my pal Tom hadn't done his Peace Corps work in Uzbekistan next door. Anyway, the trailer for this movie looked great, so I went with my pals Ernesto and Jonathan, and we all laughed our heads off! Generally I'm very sensitive about humor involving racism, but for some reason, when it reaches the point of being so outrageous that it's impossible to mistake it as genuine, I think it can be hilarious. The fact that Borat can say some of the unbelievable things he does with straight face is pretty amazing - you will either laugh it off, or be terribly offended. If you can get past all of that, the movie weaves together several different segments nicely by turning the story into a road trip, with the ultimate goal of meeting Pamela Anderson. Part of the fun is figuring out what's scripted and what's spontaneous, and believe me, most of it seems real! If you're looking for a few big laughs (or if you're hoping to see nude men wrestling), then Borat should be just what you need.Labels: movies |
