I can't wait to see this movie. Who else is going, and is there anybody who's seen it already?

Thus far 3 of my friends have seen it and they all said it was completely hysterical. How thoughtless of them not to invite ME! I'll probably go see it on the weekend.

My 16 year old son went to see Borat at the weekend

My son is a huge fan of Sacha Cohen BUT even he said it was a big disappointment and so antisematic that it was difficult to watch

I much prefer Ali G myself .... Ali G in USA is funny

The movie's antisemitism is satire, and Sacha Baron Cohen himself is a devout Jew. Myself, I found it hilarious.

With a name like Sacha Baron Cohen of course he is a Jew and I have heard failry devout .... ( allegedly ) never said he was anti sematic

BUT
Borat essentially works as a tool,Baron Cohen says. "By himself being anti-Semitic, he lets people lower their guard and expose their own prejudice, whether it's anti-Semitism or an acceptance of anti-Semitism

So by acting anti Jewish he coaxes others to show their anti sematic side ... and thats what my son found uncomfortable. Noone actually questioned his outrageous comments. I have not seen this film just the series on TV

Because of his outrageously offensive and bigoted behavior, of which Borat seems innocently unaware, and the stereotypes of a backwards second world country, as he portrays Kazakhstan, the character has sparked controversy. The most outspoken critics of Borat so far have been government officials in Kazakhstan who have vilified Baron Cohen for the way their nation is characterized. The differences between Borat's fictional homeland in Kazakhstan and the actual people and way of life in the country are so far apart that some speculate whether Baron Cohen made it that way to be a satire of American views of the world.[3]

I've heard of at least 3 lawsuits against him for the movie, it sounds like all the money from the movie will be used to pay off the lawsuits and attorneys
