Borat = stupid

And don't treat ANYTHING in the Daily Mail seriously.

I think it is pretty obvious from seeing the film that he is making a political statement. Even more obvious is the fact that he is Jewish, looks Jewish, and looks NOTHING like a Kazakhstani. This makes Americans look like morons.

This is not why I didn't like the film, and it wasn't because I didn't "get" it.

Also, it isn't new, he has been using this character for like 3 years now, right?

I felt like some of the scenes were telling, like the rodeo scene, etc. They were funny and scary at the same time.

Other scenes were just stupid, and I felt like they were added to fill time to make the thing 2 hours.

I think it is fine that some of you loved it, and others thought it was bunk. That is why we are free to have opinions.

Borat was the worst movie ever...NOT!

You must have no sense of humor then. The character Borat is so funny to me it's rediculous. I will say that his TV show skits are funnier than the movie but still the movie was great. Cohen is a very talented comedian just to keep a straight face while he is acting like such a fool. Anyone who doesn't see the humor in Borat should be checked for a pulse.

Borat was great. If the film was stupid, then why has it been the highest grossing film for two weeks in a row?

Saw III was the highest grossing film for a while too...Don't trust the American public to decide what a good movie is.

I liked Borat, but the amount of money it made doesn't say anything about how good it is.

Bruno will be the funniest movie of all time.

Borat was pretty good.

But I'm building this one up early. Bruno will be the best movie ever.

It is "ridiculous."

Obviously not everyone thinks SBC is funny. Looks like he got his ass kicked trying to pull the Borat schtick on somebody.

Some of it is funny, some of it just didn't work. If you gave me a camera and a crew for a couple of months I could go around taping people saying stupid stuff. (damnit, I should've thought of it first!!!!)

Also, i'm guessing there are hundreds of hours of tape he didn't use of people who caught on to his schtick and didn't play along. Of course in the movie you're just seeing the highlights.

Was anyone really suprised to see that there are people with racist/sexist/homophobic/ect... views in this country? You could go to any country in the world and basically make the same movie. It really wasn't biting satire or eye-opening.

Overall B-, wait for the DVD with bonus features.

Cohen is half jewish half iranian. He sees himself as jewsish.This is the usual jewish propaganda. I am wondering why he chosed USA and Kazakstan to make fun on, when he could chose Iran and Istrael, two backward countries more retarded and full of racism and sexism than Kazakstan and USA. And he would have had legitimacy doing that considering his heritage.

Overall a shitty movie with a shitty propaganda.

Either this is a poor attempt at sarcasm or an insanely idiotic statement.

Is Cohen really making a Bruno movie? I was one of many he made look foolish a couple years ago when he came to town.

Wow you need to relax with your conspiracy theories. The guy is just a British comedian who made up a few zany characters. He has poked fun of people from all walks of life. He chose the US because people wouldn't recognize him.

I haven't seen the movie, I'm talking about the tv show and I'm talking about Bruno.

The spring break wrestlers was a Bruno skit.

So am I.

He has these westlers get all fired up, doing loud TRL screams, asking for "more energy". Then he finaly asks them to make a stament to the gay Men in Austria for Gay TV.

Oh, no, I was in Bryant-Denny stadium when Cohen played Bruno and aggitated the crowd. I wasn't on film or anything, but I was in the crowd.

Well I would suspect a "stupid" film would generate a negative opinion amongst those who saw it on the day of its release and as a result the second weekend's box office numbers would suffer rather than skyrocket.

I know one of the spring break wrestlers. Apparently they beat the sh*t outta him and his body guard and stole some of the footage they shot.
