Borat

Every now and then a comedy comes along that just strikes a cord with the audience, whether it's for the outstanding acting or the great script that has been brought to life by the cast. Here the comedian is Sacha Baron Cohen and the entire situation that he brings out in this film is so hilarious you'll feel like your sides are splitting from all the laughter. Some of the humor is crude, and the treatment of some people is demeaning and cruel, but if you just step back for a moment and see that what they're truly making fun of, is the stupidity of some of our every day situations and interactions, you'll enjoy the movie from beginning to end.Borat Sagdiyev travels to America, with a camera crew in tow, to examine and bring back the cultural teachings to benefit his own country of Kazazkhstan. Having the entire movie shot as a documentary works so well that you almost forget that what your watching is fictional work. Also with some of the editing techniques they make the film feel like it truly is a film produced in a foreign country for very little money. To see some of the true reactions from different people throughout the film your amazed at times that there are still people that live in country that act like this. Some of the situations that are in the movie are a little over the top but with the realistic banter between Borat and every person he comes in contact with you get the honest feeling that everything you see is possible.
When I started watching this movie I was hoping for a comedy that would live up to all the hype, and what I got was a movie that I couldn't stop laughing at. I haven't had this much fun watching a movie in a long time, once your in the right frame of mind, the story flows from one scene to the next like it was completely natural. To watch this film you have to be able to laugh at yourself, and not take offense easily. So if you've never seen this film, find it and have some fun at your own expense, just remember your jar of gypsy tears for protection, it's a must.
