I'll wait for the verdict on it. Either going to be extremely funny or extremely tiresome. I can imagine the joke getting old after a while.

Might go and see it in a week or two - looked pretty funny to me.
A couple of my American friends are really into it and have been doing some great impressions of Borat. They seem to have been following the Ali G show for a while which is more than can be said for me. I really didn't see much of Sasha Baron Cohen until I saw him in Talladega Nights.

Well, I know what I'll be doing tomorrow night. Laughing my bollocks off. . . Anyone else going?
Yes, I am going with a couple of friends, I bet it will be funny as hell....

My verdict it is as funny as hell. Don't want to spoil it for anyone else.
Lots of laughs in the movie theatre but we went at the 1000am showing. Theatre wasn't full and a lot of people seemed to be there on their own. Don't know if that's because it was 10am or because it was an offbeat film.
It did say a lot more about Americans than a silly journalist from Kasakhstan. I notice he spent a lot of time in the south.
Honestly, I haven't laughed so much at a film for years.

Yes, I just came back and it was sooo funny! I laughed so much, my cheeks were hurting at the end of the movie. It did have a lot to say about American society and how some in the south have a few things to say about a lot of the current issues. Don't want to spoil anymore, but I had a blast!!!!

Well, it seems the old grumps at faux news aren't impressed.
Political correctness humour is probably lost on them because most of those folks use it in seriousness all the time!! :lol:

I went to see it last night on the spur of the moment. Was planning to go later in the month but some friends were going and I tagged along.
Cinema was packed and as far as I could tell, everyone thought it was hilarious. I thought it was very funny but very crude in most parts.
Definitely seemed like a case of giving the unwitting participants enough rope and then just letting them hang themselves.
The scene in the Pentecostal church is hilarious, yet disturbing at the same time. You could make a sit-com out of that sort of stuff.
