Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

[KillerGremlin]

no ali g fans? i guess the brits don't get bites in america.

one of the more funny movies i have seen in a while, not much to say, except that for 85 minutes of documentary/mock-documentary, you can't go wrong. go see it!

I am quite interested in this.


I think me and Foxxy may go....yet he doesn't know of my plans yet

[Happydude]

just came back from seeing it...man...it was something, not exactly sure what...but something.

it's wrong on so many levels....a little too many levels...but funny none-the-less

[KillerGremlin]

running of the jews!

The movie said a lot about america...and culture in general. Borat is too light-hearted to hate, even if he is ignorant, but the final scene really pulled it together. I guess the movie stretched the concept a bit thin by the end, but I was laughing all the way through. It sure was better than the craptacular man of the year...comedy my ass.

My name-a Borat!

Seen the ending 20 times. The rest of the movie 5 times.

MOVIE. OF. THE. YEAR.

I wanted to go, but neither of the theaters in town bothered to get the film - I honestly couldn't believe it. There was even a big section of the Newspaper ripping on our theaters for not getting it in.

I'll probably drive somewhere else to go see it if we don't get it in the next couple weeks.

I loved it. The hotel scene (without spoiling it) is a classic and its been a long time since I've laughed so hard in a theater.

Fox cut the number of theaters the movie would be shown in from 2,000 down to 800... Due to a "lack of awareness"...

As the weekend went, the box office estimates coming in (which are usually very accurate) have Borat pulling in $26 mil... $6 mil more than the number 2 film, Santa Clause 3, which was shown on 4 times as many screens as Borat...

"Lack of awareness", eh? Part of me wonders how many of those cut screens were planned to be in America's "heartland"... *strokes chin*

In a freak accident, I ended up sitting next to an elderly couple who, I feared, didn't know exactly what they were getting into... But they sat the whole way through, laughing away with the rest of the sold out crowd...

A hilarious time for all!

It was a damn good film. I went to a later showing, 9:10, and the theater was sold out. It was a real crowd pleaser. And, for the first time in a long while, I'll probably see a movie twice in theaters.

you call that a late showing? i went to one at 12:30am and it was sold out.

I love Ali G, and I will be watching this when it comes to our shores

Great movie. Haven't had a constant, 1.5 hour laugh in a long time. THe wedding sack is a great concept, and should be adopted in North America.

I was so overlyhyped before I saw it I was slightly let down by it overall. I mean yes it was funny, even halarious at times. But I was expecting gut wretching halarity throughout, and that just wasnt the case for me.

One thing that suprised me, only one theatre in my area was showing it, and yes it was sold out for the 7:30 PM showing I went to. But the thing that suprised me was how hard they were checking ID's. I was asked to show my ID when I bought my ticket, and again by a doorman right before I entered the theatre. I saw a girl who was with her boyfriend probably get turned down because she wasnt 17. Anyways ive never really seen that at any other movie before, at least not as serious about it as they were for Borat.

[Happydude]

that's weird...here it was rated 14A...my brother who was 13 got in...

Maybe your place or residence isn't as backwards as the US, and Borat's lack of (serious) violence let it get away with a 14A despite the language, potty humor, and (non-sexual) graphic nudity.

One time me and some friends snuck into showgirls (the movie). We actually bought tickets for pocohontas. We were watching and saw some boobies, then these security guys came and asked to see our tickets. Then we were sent out and forced to watch pocohontas. Although I am gay, so this was a long time ago, when i was in the closet so yeh.

[Jonbo298]

My theater did that too. Checked IDs at buying the ticket and before we could even get into the theater. Though the guy told me and my friend "You look over 17, just go ahead" :p

and bobcat, I didn't know you were gay. No offense >.>

I saw the 3:30pm show on a Friday afternoon, and there were so many high school students with their uniforms on and backpacks, haha. I felt so old, being 20. But some of these kids looked like they were 8 years old, me and my buddies had no idea why they were let in.

But, I was watching 14A movies since I was about 12. It was such a rush either sneaking in or trying to pull off a solid lie about your birth date to the manager who was questioning you about your age, haha. Great times.

And Jason1, this movie was indeed ridiculously hyped up. I still enjoyed it greatly though.
