Truely one of the funniest films ever, instant classic. I was almost in tears through about 80% of the film.

Ranks right up there with Blazing Saddles or something else of that caliber.

I've noticed that a lot of people like to dismiss Borat as "dumb", they don't really get it and really need to learn a thing or two about subtlety.

There's a certain sophistication to Borat that I think a lot of people don't get. If you watched the Ali G show, you understand that every character that Sascha plays has a certain intention when they do interviews and talk to people. Throughout every character that he does, his main goal is to point out absurdities in common, everyday thinking and to oust people's idiocy by getting them all tied up in their own words.

Characters like Borat do that very well because they take on a role that has a much different perspective than your average American / civilized person. The character Borat that he plays tries to identify with people who are about as dumb as rocks, and then gets them to agree with him when he says ridiculous things.

One of the best moments that I liked from the trailer of the Borat movie was when he says, "We support your war of terror." No one in the audience notices the supposed 'grammatical imperfection' because he is, of course, a foreigner. So they all cheer, even though they're technically cheering for something they might not agree with if they were to be sat down and had it explained to them.

It's very, very good humor. Anyone that doesn't appreciate it simply isn't smart enough to comprehend the level that Sascha Cohen is working at.

What man up there said.  He speak truth.  Journalist?  Pah!  Journalist, he can only tell you news.  But comedian.  Ah, comedian, it take  comedian tell you TRUTH!

I just saw "Borat" today with my older brother and my 13-year-old nephew. (I'm still wondering if it was a good idea to take my nephew along, even though he was laughing as hard as the rest of us.)

I too thought it was funny as hell and I thought it took some real balls for him to make this film. (I have to wonder how he and his crew made it out of that rodeo in one piece.)

"My husband is retired."

"He is retard?" 

(I thought that scene seemed a little bit cruel, because his hosts seemed like they were genuinely nice people who were trying to make him and his crew feel welcome, but when he came back with that "bag" I still about fell out of my chair.)

"We're going to have to call the sheriff!"

"Yes, call sheriff! The retard has escaped!"  ;D ;D ;D

I saw Borat on Saturday and it was hilarious. There was the most laughter in the auditorium since Little Man, which I also thought was funny.

Last month I saw that first 4 minutes of it on the internet and didn't think it was amusing at all. I thought it was pretty lame and not very imaginative.  I know that
