Default Re: The official Borat Movie Thread

I went to see a 3 PM screening today. Probably about 50 people in the theater.

I'm sorry to say I'm going to have to side with the nays on this one. I mildly chuckled a few times, laughed a few times, but was nowhere close to laughing to the point of almost being in tears.

I agree with previous posters that said it would have been better to not have seen any clips, or to not have seen Borat before at all. The scenes that I had already seen just dragged for me.

I found some of the scenes more sad and bizarre than funny. The best example being the scene in the church.

The Pamela Anderson scene didn't do anything for me at all. It was very short, and nothing really happened.

Maybe I needed to go see this drunk or high in a packed theater. I would give the film maybe 7 out of 10. The naked wrestling, and a few other scenes, were genuinely funny.

To call this the funniest film of all time, is an insult to Peter Sellers, Mel Brooks, the Monty Python cast, the Zucker brothers, etc.
