Saw Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan on the weekend. If you are easily offended with those making fun of religion, Jews, homosexuals, African Americans, feminists and jokes on stereotypes - don’t bother going to see it. This is a pure toilet/potty humor movie. It was funny in spurts, with some pretty disgusting parts (as you may find out if you see it).
Although not the funniest movie I have ever seen, I’ll still give it the thumbs up because it gave me a good laugh. I did see quite a number of people walk out halfway through the movie in disgust. Nevertheless, looking at the box office ratings, it is doing quite well… approximately $26 million for one weekend, surpassing Santa Clause 3 (and other big budgeted movies), even with only limited showings of 800+ cinemas across the country.
(If you don’t know who Borat is, read my previous post here)

I watched Borat last night and was very impressed! I dont think i have ever laughed so hard before!!! Not only did i not notice anyone walk out in disgust, the theater i was at gave a standing ovation!
But i agree, some parts of this movie went a little too far!

I look forward to seeing this, although it’s difficult imagining the movie being great throughout, I mean, the schtick seems like it would wear out after a while.
