Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
A reporter from Kazakhstan offends America while journeying from coast-to-coast in a quest to meet Pamela Anderson. Comedy from Sacha Baron Cohen and 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' director Larry Charles
Since it is meaningless hype to describe Borat as the funniest film ever made, let us settle on this: Borat is the funniest film imaginable right now.

Uncomfortable
I can't go along with the popular view of this film. This is difficult comedy. Its difficult in the way that Lenny Bruce is difficult. You can rationalise it or just go with the flow but the ugly naked guy wrestling and the jokes riding on jew-bashing and so on are not, to me, the stuff of easy slapstick. Now I am not saying this is antisemitic or anything like it; its the opposite, but I just felt uncomfortable and didn't laugh more than very occasionally.
