Film Review: Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

I just returned from Pacific Theaters in El Segundo, CA where I went to see Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.

This is one of those flicks, that when you see the preview, you say to yourself, "Oh, Man!  I've got to see this movie..."  However, once it starts, you find yourself not laughing as much as you thought you might or as much as you remembered from seeing the preview.

In general, I thought the movie was entertaining enough, and quite shocking in some places.  I certainly could have done without the excess graphic frontal nudity, but that is what a lot of people found so entertaining about this movie.

There is a scene in the movie where the two main characters in the movie get in an argument and end up wrestling completely naked in bed and end up in a position that I can only describe as, shall we say, disturbing.

Judging by the audience's reaction, the movie is quite funny.  I thought it was OK and would give it about a 7 out of 10.  My son A.J., who went with me, rates it an 8.

I guess in a nutshell, Borat is worth seeing, if only to remind oneself how far things have come in society today to earn a movie like this an 'R' rating.
