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.

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.

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"

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.
