Borat
Borat : C.L.O.A.F.M.B.G.N.O.K
The first laugh in this film comes with the BBFC certificate screen when you see the film's name (Borat : Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan) stretch right across the screen. From that moment you just know this is going to be excellent.
This film only lasts for 84 minutes – a fraction over half of that of Casino Royale – but it is 84 wonderful minutes of laugh-out-loud comedy that had the whole cinema in uproar for the majority of the time. It’s hard to review properly without ruining much of the film, but I shall try my best.
Sacha Baron Cohen plays Kazakh journalist Borat who is travelling to the US to to make a video for the Ministry of Information ands help improve Kazakh culture and image, despite Kazakhstan supposedly having the world's “best Potassium”. However, as would be expected of a film like this, things go wrong, often resulting in hilarious scenes…
There is honestly too many absurdly funny moments to recount. The film included the line "My moustache still smells of your testes", which has got to be worth something. Every minute has at least one scene that results in a comic delirium. At one point Borat manages to destroy $500 worth of plates in a store, and attempts to pay for them with bags of pubic hair - "Very valuable in Kazakhstan!"
The vast majority of the scenes involve unsuspecting Americans who - in many cases - are persuaded into voicing some of their true opinions to this unsuspecting Kazakh. At one point Borat enters a gun store and asks "What would be the best weapon to kill the Jews?". The store owner doesn't even blink and point him in the direction of what would appear to be a gold-plated 9mm handgun. Later, one redneck instructs him on how to look "less Muslim" by losing his moustache. It excellently exposes the semi-standard racism in certain Southern states...
No film is worthy of 10/10, but Borat is closer to the 10 side than the 9 side, so it earns this most prestigious of awards. The very instant this gem comes out on DVD I intend to buy it, because it is just too funny not to.

Good stuff.
I like Bruno (on TV, not film) making some Americans say "Hi from North Dakota Beach for Austria GAY TV!".
Their reaction is priceless.
Lol.... damn straight this has to be one of the funniest films of all time.
One of the funniest things has to be when he went to the bathroom, then brought t he shit down in a bag to the dinner party :D

PPS Your postblog make me write "euhcrz"? Is a real word?
Just the picture you have in your review makes me laugh. Having thought about it carefully though, I don't really like this film,and here is my reasoning -
This film was quite possibly the best comedy I have ever seen, ever. It has therefore ruined all future comedies I may see, as I don't think anything will ever be as good. CURSE YOU BORAT ARE YOUR SIDE-SPLITTING HILARITY!
Brilliant Film. Jew Eggs. Lol.
Sounds really good from what I've seen/heard. Anybody not yet seen the film wanna go see it soon?
