I think this movie was… well if you reallly…what i really mean to say is…i think…this…that really…this movie is…VERrrY NICE!
AGREED!

I’m not so sure. I think that the strongest part of the movie is the opening in ‘Kazakhstan’, and that much of the US-based content is predictable, derivative and repetitive.
Now, I find the movie very funny, and laughed a lot when I first saw it. But a second viewing and some reflection make me conclude that his TV show is better and the movie is essentially a simplification of some strong material.
The Bruno (gay Austrian fashionista) movie will probably be funnier.
Buried in the ridiculous, random humor there was some strong social commentaries… which is always good.
I laughed until I hurt at that movie.
I’m not sure about the replay value, but I think that people ruin wonderful things all too often by re and re and replaying them.
Enjoy it once. As a single, ephemeral moment of beauty.
Or, in the case of Borat, absolute ridiculousness.
Good stuff.
Oh and . . .
Verrrrry niice. Moviefilm is like hand party for my thinkbrain.
Regardless of replay value, if you (as I had) watched the TV series prior to the movie then you’d realise how much of the movie’s content is recycled.
I had seen some of them, but I can see how if you had seen all of them (probably more than one, Da Ali G show is some funny shit) the movie would be a little canned-ham.
“What about eating chocolate? Does that make me gay?”
Thats what the movie was about, to let people know about him, most people really didnt know about him unless u watched HBO, so ya i dont blame him for repeating, dont most TV shows to MOVIE , its suppost to be the same, just longer…
Actually, going completely against what I said before, one thing I thought was missing from the Borat movie was Borat’s maniacal dancing to twee, faux-Kazakhstani music which features heavily in the TV series.
Also, the anti-semitism, the ‘running of the Jew’ sequence aside, was a bit lame for the most part. Now, I’m all in favour of anti-semitic comedy, but if you’re going to play that game you should make it as disgusting as possible.
O, well. i donno i guess i can agree, it was kind of lame scene but i figured it was for character development, to understand how much they hate jews…which i find hilarous because im not a huge jew fan…
It’s worth noting that the comic himself is Jewish.
Throwing money at shapeshifting Jew-beetles isn’t enough for you?
Especially since it was apparent when he entered that B&B that he had absolutely no idea what a Jew actually was?
I thought that was great.
The movie is brilliant. 
Few people in the 'biz can improvise in character like he does.
I’m recently retired…
You are a retard?
The movie is crap, but not because the movie is crap. It is crap because it will, no doubt, increase the sentiments of American viewers to consider “middle-easterns” to be idiots and something to laugh at. This helps the American agenda overseas by manipulating the opinions of voters and citizens.
Portray the middle-east as a disgraceful wasteland and its easier to get support from people to invade it. The American government has to know, by now, how stupid the public is. Release a song or a movie and you can move entire masses of Amercians like sheep in which ever direction you prefer, and the rest is cake. The public is no more complicated than that to control.
Except that Khazaks are Turkic, not Arabic and the country is mostly Orthodox. Heck, Wahabi Islam is outlawed there!
So . . . I’m not sure how your point follows.
A rare imaginative piece of anti-Semitism in the movie.
Alright, that scene had me laughing, and I think the whole concept of the character is clever and highly amusing. But the movie seemed to me a lot of rather obvious ‘taking the piss out of dumb Americans’ sandwiching the odd lean slice of genuine wit.
I’m not for a moment disputing Cohen’s acting ability, but I question whether he genuinely had enough material for a feature length movie in the script. Maybe, like all Jews, the movie studio showed him the money and he said ‘fine, I don’t care’.
I never thought that I would be forced to describe Borat as, “Too subtle”.
Explain? o and i know that sacha is a jew. lol, which is also why it is so Hilarous. Remmember the scene with the cross and the camera like blair witch status? that shit had my crying.
