Lazarus 0 Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 All of the reviews I've read have raved about it. Is it that good? Its very good but i wouldnt say it was brilliant. There are several very funny scenes which i think have all been talked about in reviews or have been released as clips and so it kinda dilutes the whole thing. the wrestling bit has to seen to be believed as its... well.... its just ....

Renton 21052 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I saw it yesterday and agree with Lazarus's assessment - very good but not brilliant, and there's a good chance you will have already seen the best bits. Whatever you think of Cohen though, he is pretty brave doing those set ups. He could easily have been lynched in the Rodeo scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsy 0 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Pretty pumped to go and see this. From all reports it is hilarious and Borat was always better then Ali G in the first place so it is great to see he finally made it to the big screen. My wife, she die.... but thats ok i have a new wife now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Kermode didn't like it. He didn't. And I think he raised some very valid points. I've only seen the trailer and selected clips so far, so call me Renton, but it does seem that his targets are getting less and less worthy of ridicule. If a bloke turns up at your house and puts a little bag of shit on the table and invites a crack whore, he's not so much making you look stupid as himself. Both Ali G and Borat were at their best exposing the bigotry/stupidity of deserving targets. Don't get me wrong, I think telling a woman she has a small brain to cause offence is funny, but not 5 stars funny, Harry Enfield has already done it better anyway with "Women, know your limits!". Perhaps the majority of footage released has been de-politicised to encourage a wider audience, but I far prefer it when Cohen's characters make a point.

It's hilarious and very close to the bone. Not bad as Borat is one of his weaker characters imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a laugh really, I wouldn't get hung up on it being worthy or being some brilliant satire tbh. Things like this are an inevitable reaction to political correctness, but there's always going to be some prissy fuddy duddies who can't appreciate it for what it is.
