canada Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Okay so Borat is coming out this tuesday. Whos buying it? I personally did not get to watch it at the movies when it was new so I'm really excited to finally see it. I've seen some trailers of it but I was wondering if its really worth it? For those who have seen it how funny is this movie, really?
Chris Benvenuto Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I personally hate Borat! but, my brother and dad saw the movie and they said it was sexual-vulgar based humor and pratical jokes. Hope you like it, I sure didn't.
SonOfBeastSucks Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I saw it in theaters. The 15 minute "naked" scene really just grossed me out more than anything (you'll know it when you see it) but I thought the rest of it was great.
cfc Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I'm going to guess that I'm one of the few on this site who disliked Borat. I'm not a big fan of "ambush" comedy, and they really did a lousy job with the "faux documentary" format; for example, the perfect camera placement for when Borat and his producer flee the boarding house run by the nice, old Jewish couple, and Borat complaining about how lonely he is when his producer deserted him (hell, why doesn't he just ask the camera crew for a ride?). Nope--I just didn't buy it.
bigjohnson51 Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I hope to get it! It's one of my favorite movies.
Fallen Heretic Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I havent seen the movie, but I have seen most, if not all, of the Borat sketches, and I find them funny more often than they are not. Then again I guess the Atlantic Ocean divides the sense of humour as well as other things. lol. Im thinking of buying it.
DeliriumTrigger Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I saw it in theaters...and I don't plan to buy the DVD. I thought there were some hilarious parts, and some incredibly stupid parts...it balanced out to just enough where I'd DVR it if it were on an HD movie channel, but not buy the DVD.

Nope--I just didn't buy it. Give me a break. Of course some scenes were staged. But others were not, like the rodeo scene. He almost caused a real riot there, which takes more balls than you or I will ever have.
BiCoastal Kid Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 You really have to "get" that comedy. It's really more intelligent than most people take it for, which is why I found it hilarious! Aside from the "naked" part, I thought it was pretty brilliant.
coasters 4 me Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I havent seen this film yet. I went to the cinema and the tickets were sold out. Anyway, does it come out in the US on Tuesday? It comes out here tomorrow.

He almost caused a real riot there, which takes more balls than you or I will ever have. Whether or not any scenes were "staged" is not the point. I felt that he simply didn't use the faux documentary format very well as compared to, say, This Is Spinal Tap or A Mighty Wind. Hell, it was even nominated for "Best Screenplay Adaptation" at the Oscars (lost to The Departed). As for the rodeo scene, I did think that was fairly funny (the old cowboy guy backstage was pretty scary), as was the bit with the humor coach. But funny is in the eyes of the beholder. I was looking forward to this flick, but found it disappointing and overrated.
Masked_Maverick Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I didn't care too much for Borat myself. Some parts I thought were funny but overall I thought it was way overrated.
JamieCara Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I laughed so hard I was crying... best movie ever.
coastrfreak2000 Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 This movie was completely overrated. There were no more than a few funny moments, but other than that I honestly thought it was complete crap.
Spookbaby Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I bought it and watched it with my friends last night. My friend who had never seen it before spit M&M's out all over my Mom's white carpet she laughed so fucking hard and I snorted my pop. Of course, I'm immature and am a big fan of "toilet humor."

I was looking forward to this flick, but found it disappointing and overrated. I agree that the documentary portion of it was underdeveloped. But it wasn't supposed to be a Christopher Guest movie. It was basically just an excuse for Ali G to pull his typical antics, which are admittedly a niche that not everyone likes. I'm a big fan of Mr. Cohen, and I knew exactly what I was getting into. Spinal Tap is excellent, but I think his later efforts fall severely short.
Sir Clinksalot Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I thought it was great. That said, I'm not sure it's a movie I would buy and watch more than once.
ParkTrips Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Well I saw it a couple times in theatres and my copy came in the mail yesterday, I think its brilliant sup wit it vanilla face
texashorns82492 Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I heard it's very crude and vulgar. Too inappropriate for little 6 years olds to quote it
trustkill22 Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 I thought it was pretty good. But I think it couldve been better but I enjoyed it. But, If you want to see the best Mockumentry, Watch the movie FUBAR. It unreal.
ParkTrips Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Too inappropriate for little 6 years olds to quote it wow, shocking, because I never would have imagined an R-rated movie would be appropriate for 6-year-olds
Jew Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 I thought the movie sucked.....NOOOT! I've never laughed so hard during a movie before.
thefitness Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Borat was deffinately one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. It's the deffinition of my sense of humor.I also like when people fall down =]
willski Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 I thought the movie sucked.....NOOOT! I've never laughed so hard during a movie before. Oh no, it is a Jew on the message forums! Throw some monies at it! I once hit a Jew with stone from 75m, unchained. I win medal, great honor for Kazakhstan, not Uzbeki assholes. Great success! Yeah, it's a great movie.
