Borat reviewed by Scene-Stealers.com

It's more than a "ha ha" effect. It's biting satire, and the fact that real people acted this stupid this easily on camera makes it all the more effective, because it shows real prejudice. This movie is way better than you give it credit for and doesn't deserve to be dismeissed this quickly.

I'm not dismissing the overall effect it was trying to trasmit.
My beef is with the fact that at some points during the movie he is trying to "satirize" by genuinely hurting innocent people.

One of the many scenes where he did that is the one where he literally destroys an entire antique collection of a random old man.
If that is by any strech a "satire" or "funny", then I dunno.
Maybe I'm screw up.

Other scenes where indeed funny.

*Disregard the multiple typos.
My final paper jacked up my typing pace, and now it's lost control :P

the man in that shop was not innocent becasue he sold racist products. he was also paid back all damages done to the shop by the producers.

oh,okay I didn't know that.
but still...watching someones personal priceless antique collection(I dunno where you got that he was racist from, but meh)being destroyed for no purpose at all, is not entrataining or me.

The rest, yeah..it was funny. the "Romantic exlosions" phrase made me LOL.

idiot, family guy makes fun of other countries, but when borat, makes fun of america, its bad apparently

like the saying goes "if you cant laugh at yourself, you cant laugh at other people
