Borat
Since Borat seemed like my kind of comedy, off I went to the theater with a friend one weekend to watch it. However, in keeping with the tagline for the blog – The art of keeping up with yesterday’s blogging – you are reading about it now about 7 weeks later.
Borat - Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is good if you like crass humor and don’t mind ethnic jokes or potty humor.
Sacha Baron Cohen has his own style which he perfected in Da Ali G Show. I like such humor and so laughed during most of the movie.
While those people in the movie who didn’t know that all this was an act brought the laughs on themselves, I can imagine Kazakhs might be miffed at Borat’s portrayal of their society.
I rate the movie 7/10.
