Borat. Great movie or greatest movie?

From reading a few reviews from people in yahoo i think they missed the point. they saw only the offensive humor and ignored the fact that the most offensive comments came from americans. he was making jokes about the ignorance that america has towards foreigners and minorities. the movie was genious and easily the funniest this year. with that being said what did you think?

    Many would probably agree... this film has the potential to either be amazing or absolutely awful. Last night I attended the first ever screening in Marina Del Ray. "Borat" is not only the hardest I've laughed in a theater since "Wedding Crashers", it may be the hardest I've laughed EVER. It it expertly handled, fusing fiction with non fiction and constantly testing the boundaries of taste and decency in the best, most socially revealing ways. In many ways, it is like a meeting of "Breaking The Waves" and "Jackass". It uses confrontational non-fiction set ups to create massive discomfort, and in the process, revealing both the light and dark of it's subjects.

    In fact, I found myself having a tough time labeling it. Although it is a definite step in the direction of "Jackass", it holds some of the same relevance as a Michael Moore documentary. Sasha Baren Cohen tears us apart with laughs, and in doing so, holds a mirror up to America in ways twice as revealing as any Michael Moore voice over ever could.

    This film, if Fox has the guts to really give it the push it deserves, could signal a dramatic shift and appeal to a very wide 20-30 yr old, left wing, educated demographic.

    This film is truly an incredible thing to witness. My film of the year thus far.

    i grew to become into no longer amused lots in any respect during the action picture, with 5-10 exceptions. no longer even close to to funniest of all time, or correct as you place it. no longer even close, no longer even desirable one hundred for my area. How previous are you anyhow? Your spelling reflects a ten 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous. Judging by potential of ways lots you laughed on the action picture i might wager you're 9. it somewhat is it? 9 or 10?
