I have missed several high-profile movies in the last few months… no, scratch that. I’ve missed several great films in the last couple of years! Thank the dark lord Satan for DVD’s. Okay, put the goddamn lightning bolt down, God. I’m just kidding. Jeez. We all know you had a hand in it too. Anyhoo, as I was saying, good thing there are DVD’s to let me catch up on the films I missed in the theater, like this one I’m about to talk about: Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.
The Story: It’s simple, really. Kazakh TV personality Borat Sagdiyev, along with his documentary crew, goes to America to learn the ways and the stuff that makes the U.S. of A. the “greatest country in the world”. But like all great men, his weakness comes in the form of plastic boobs and blonde hair. His obsession with Pamela Anderson makes him travel across America, endangering their mission. It’s a plot that has been done to death already by several sophomoric comedies that aren’t really funny. This movie, though, is different. Within the simplistic plot lies several face-melting funny gags and practical jokes sprinkled with bigotry, misogyny, toilet humor, male nudity, and tasteless words. In the end, you’ll realize that the real story lies in the reactions, opinions, and actions of the American people “interviewed” by Borat. Very nice.
