Take It Or Leave It...A Weak Movie Loosely Based On Da Ali G Show
Movies don't happen in a vacuum. Some movies have a profound effect on the people in the background. For instance, Michael Moore has made a living out of using trickery and deception to get people to make statements to him that he can then take out of context to exploit for his own political...

An Evolutionary Moment In Comedy, HIGH FIVE!
This probably won't be my standard comic spew. I'll try to spice it up with a "Shmoo-ism" or two but if I'm reviewing a movie that 16 people have already reviewed… that probably means that I have something to say and have glossed over a diatribe of comments that concern me.
To those...

Bigotry versus Lampooning Bigotry
Humor and drugs have a lot in common. Both can be therapeutic and both can be lethal. Compared to humor, anything else with as much potential for uplifting flagging human spirits is either addicting or fraught with health risks. Few people have ever died laughing despite what the cliche might say... Read full review »
Rip-off of "Road Scholar", but much funnier!
Andrei Codrescu is a Romanian Jewish immigrant, arriving in the USA in the 1960's, living as a poet, first in NYC, then New Orleans, and then San Francisco. Finally, he decided to learn to drive, the true American identity-card being a driver's license. The movie is full of the obvious humor of an... Read full review »
My Review For To Give You Honest Value Of "Borat"
The point of Borat, starring "Da Ali G Show"'s Sacha Baron Cohen, lies in watching people and strangers around him react to this character whose persona mixes every backward and racist notion about Jews, men, women, homosexuals, Muslims.
Borat hails from the title country of Kazakhstan,...

I Have to Say It. I HATE IT! Review on Borat.
I know that "I hate it" isn't a critique, but it fits. This movie is the worst mess of stuff I've ever seen.
My daughter rented the DVD and wanted someone to watch it with. I reluctantly volunteered. All it managed to do was to reinforce the original feelings that I had about it when it...

Tom and Borat, sitting in a tree...
Very rarely do I admire a film so much that I would fight to the death for it. Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is an important film because it exposes the often racist and ignorant nature of many Americans while also showing another side: our...

The Moose Hole - Borat is Nice ... NOT!
Who would have thought that a comedy starring what seems to be an inconspicuous unkempt East European schmuck would be the most controversial feature film of 2006? Several 'victims' of Sacha Baron Cohen's elaborate hoaxes failed to find the humor in their ordeals with the British comedian. Two of... Read full review »

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan Full Frame DVD
Sacha Baron Cohen brings his Borat character to the big screen with this feature length adaptation of his American exploits. Fans of DA ALI G SHOW will already be familiar with the devilishly simple Borat formula in which the heavily mustachioed TV host from Kazakhstan dupes a number of unwitting citizens into revealing their deepest prejudices and this movie takes that premise stirs in a little narrative structure and serves a side-splitting 84-minute mirth-fest. The action begins with Borat traveling to America alongside his producer Azamat Bagatov Ken Davitian. After a hotel room viewing of BAYWATCH Borat decides he must travel to California to woo Pamela Anderson so he and the long-suffering Azamat take a cross-country road trip in an ice cream van encountering some funny disturbing and deeply strange individuals along the way. SEINFELD producer Larry Charles lends his directing talents to BORAT and he gets the balance between the loosely threaded plot and Borat's encounters with real Americans exactly right. At times the movie threatens to topple over into glorious anarchy with each situation escalating to ridiculous and ridiculously funny extremes but Charles knows exactly when to put the brakes on and progress to Borat's next encounter-- although the police are called at the tail-end of one memorable sequence. Keen-eyed viewers will notice some repetition from the TV show with Borat once again going to a rodeo and again taking etiquette lessons but it's almost as if Cohen treats each of these set-pieces as a comedic "bit" he is working on gradually adding further delirium every time he goes back for another shot. Sometimes it's difficult to tell who if any of BORAT's participants are actors but it matters little when the material is this gut-wrenchingly funny and it's testament to Cohen's talents that he's managed to take a marginal supporting character from his TV show and turned him into a genuine cultural phenomenon.
