I can't understand how they could give him a golden globe. I usually like demented comic movies, but how can you like a movie like this. It does make a few points on how American tradition is spoiled and ruined by its own extreme ways, from the high society people to the college guys, that probably are more retarded than Borat himself. Of course, this movie is a satire of American life style but it is neither funny nor original, the only original thing about this movie is the character Borat, but that does not give him the merit to win a golden globe or any other award. I really cannot understand either why the average vote on this movie is a 7.8, are you crazy.
A pretty funny film, but certainly not the "10" many give it. Moments of brilliance (the dinner party scene) offset by some crude visuals and humor. More fat, old male gonad shots than I ever need to see again. Rumored to be totally unscripted, part of the films brilliance is the uncertainty of what is spontaneous and real vs. what is contrived. While the film allegedly makes Kazakhastan look bad, it is Americans that come off looking the worst - gay bashing, Jew hating, and cheering for the death of Muslims.
The theater we saw it in (a very liberal Californian venue) had a pretty mixed reaction. 1/3 howled with laughter, 1/3 quietly chuckled, and 1/5 were shocked and dismayed. About 10 people walked out but another 20 sneaked in.
