I think you guys are overreacting to the ticket availability now. Its Wednesday...the movie comes out Friday. Some theaters may not post their showings until thursday or even friday. I'd relax and wait till tomorrow night before gettin pissed

You are correct. I thought the movie came out Wednesday nationwide. I didn't know Friday was it's actual big release. Reno does have 2 theaters playing the movie so I am now happy.

i confess, i was not interested at all in seeing the movie at first. after seeing enough clips, it looks pretty damn funny and have converted. i plan on seeing it now.

Fox Cuts Number of Opening Theaters for Borat

[ QUOTE ]
Twentieth Century Fox this week confirmed that it had slashed by more than half the number of locations where it hoped to debut the mock documentary about a boorish Kazakh TV journalist. On assignment in America, the fictional Borat offends virtually everyone he meets while mangling the English language.

I will definitely see this movie. I may wait until it's showing at one of the theaters that serves beer, as it just got cut from the theater I like to go to in Austin.

I ate dinner by the movie theater in town tonight and walked by to see if I could go ahead and order my ticket for tomorrow in the credit card machine thing they have in the lobby and it wasn't available here (charlotte) either.

They must have just decided to not show it because there is a borat sticker in the window outside where you can buy tickets. lame.

Borat is going to be the guest on the Daily Show tonight.

The Reviews it is getting are incredible.

95% on Rotten Tomatoes and 90 on Metacritic, Metacritc being the more impressive number of the two.

A 90 on Metacritic is pretty much incredible. Rather then rattle off recent movies because I do not know what you liked and didn't, look here:

Poke around and see what other films you may like are rated.

The recent reviews are on the left hand side.


Here is the main page of Rotten tomatoes:

Rotten Tomatoes

You can see that many movies do not even come close to a 95%. I put more credence in Metacritc because it uses a better grading system and more well known critics but both are good.



Edit: Right now Borat is the 36 rated movie ever on Metacritic. Take that for what it is worth. The movie review industry is substantially different now. However, that is an awesome rating for a flick. Also keep in mind there are still quite a few reviews that have not posted yet.

Not since the halcyon days of Archie Bunker and "All in the Family" has so sharp a wit punctured so many balloons.

If this movie is half as funny as some of the classic "All In the Family" episodes I'll be LMAO.
