"Borat" is the funniest movie I have seen in a long time - probably since "Blazing Saddles." This is acting to the ultimate extreme, as Sacha Baron Cohen plays Borat, a Kazakhstani reporter sent from his government to learn about the culture of the "U, S, and A." And what's truly shocking about this film is not the content (although some of it is ridiculous) but the fact that Cohen did not break character once; in a story in Entertainment Weekly it says the crew was pulled over by the cops more than once, and even then did Cohen stay in character. Although I don't think Cohen should get an Oscar nomination for Best Actor, he should get his own category. Because this film - the message, the execution, hell, the whole idea of the thing - is completely original. No one will say this is the best movie they've ever seen - and it's probably not. But what everyone can say is that it's the most impressive feat in the film industry any of us have seen in a long time.

With so many accolades everywhere for this movie, I feel like the body snatchers have taken over the minds of all my fellow earthlings.
It just wasn't that funny!
I suppose there are lots of prudish folks in this west coast, middle class community. But they weren't the ones NOT doing the laughing at my screening. Mostly folks like me looking for a reason to laugh, and being forced to do so out of embarrassment.
If confronting intolerance, be it racial, gender, sexual orientation etc. was the point of the this film, it could have been done more. effectively (and intelligently. It may not offend you but it will certainly make you feel uncomfortable if there is an empathetic bone in your body.
