Awesome film. As well as it being hilarious it makes some really strong political points, showing how out of touch America is with the rest of the world.

Am I the only who who walked away feeling dissapointed? The only parts I thought were really funny was the people on the subway in NYC threatening to punch him and the politicians trying to talk to Borat about his gay sex romp in his hotel room. The rest of it was just stupid.


Watch this skit and save yourself 10 bux imo.

The naked fight scene was wonderful, but what really made the movie great for me were all the subtle moments where something absolutely hilarious would take place, and then they'd move on pretending that nothing happened. For example, the bear's head in the refrigerator, or when he says "Listen pussycat, smile a bit" to that feminist.

I think the best scene was certainly when hes at the bed and breakfast and he finds out that the owners are jewish. That expression on his face is priceless.

That was an amazing night, I was in boston visiting freinds and we ended up going 11 or 12 deep on saturday. I was rocking my kazakhstan nomads rugby jersey and was beyond shitfaced. The best part of it all was that one of my freinds girlfreinds roomates was jewish and was not amused one bit.

boost, did that chick know that the guy behind borat is hardcore jewish? I ran into one of my friends from israel today and he hold me that the borat guy is speaking in hebrew when he switches languages, which makes it that much funnier.

And cohen and the director are lauhging about how the writing on his clipboard is in hebrew and that he speaks some gibberish and some hebrew when he switches langauges. We did tell her though, but she is a dumb sub human woman (redundant?)

There were some Jewish women that saw this movie with me, and they thought it was just as hilarious as everyone else did. Your friend's girlfriend's roommate must have just been really dumb.

Your logic makes perfect sense:

"Here are some Jews that killed people"
implies =>
"All Jews are cold blooded killers"
imples =>
"Jews are always really dumb"

Solid. No logical problems there.

I recently heard from a friend that those kids in the camper van are suing for defamation. Apparently, they signed the release forms in a bar, while legally drunk, after the producers bought them drinks. Which gives a good chance that the release forms will be discounted, and that the kids win the lawsuit. This is just hearsay from a friend though.
