He Not So Funny

"Has this man made the funniest movie ever"? No. Not even close. Don't get me wrong, there are some hilarious uncomfortable moments and the exploitation of Middle America was great, but it wasn't enough to support Borat's cross-country motives as the film just lacked a storyline worthy of the hype.

What made Borat so great on Da Ali G Show was Sacha Baron Cohen's moderate use of the character. An hour and a half of the accent and mannerisms became a real annoyance as I begged for Ali G or Brüno to show up and reclaim my interest. Overall, I would class it along with recent slapstick comedic documentaries such as the Jackass Movie series, but I could hardly make an attempt to place it anywhere near my top 25 comedies of all time.
