No I haven't... not sure if I really want to, to be honest. The things that are coming out about it (ie: duping people) makes me a bit uneasy about it.

I heard something about this movie that made me wanna not go see it. I dare not mention this thing, lest others become troubled by such a thing, as well...

I saw it. As for me there are some very funny moments, but in common it's a *BLEEP* (sorry for this word but i can't find synonym)... I don't know who told that it is a "the funniest movie of the year"...

but it's just my own opinion.

I have seen the movie, it has some rather funny moments, but some quite offending as well, also, it is a little bit too much the same thing again and again, especially if you've seen earlier work from this man.

I've seen the movie twice, and while I don't really need to see it any more (you'll remember all of the jokes and the commentary of the first viewing all through the second -- once is enough!), you have to realize that this is a satire by a Jewish person on bigotry in America. He portrays a foreigner who is an anti-Semite and is voicing the opinions of what he believes is the absolute backwoods of society.

The sad thing is that people, like the rodeo manager, actually agree with him.

Don't necessarily view it as offensive, because what he portrays as offensive (the Running of the Jew, etc) is actually inherently offensive to himself (because he's Jewish). I like it as a satire - crude - but somewhat necessary. Remember that there was no scripting involved past a few scenes. The people who are suing him are doing it out of their own lack of judgment. If they hadn't believed what they said, they wouldn't have said it. It's an expose on our society, and what exactly we need to change, so I hope the "victims" learned from this.

I do feel sorry for the Jewish couple, however; they were so sweet, but I'm sure there was some sort of compensation for their erratic behavior. If it helps, Sasha Baron Cohen's 94 year old grandmother in Israel approved of the film.

It's pretty funny, quite nice for the most part until it gets to a certain scene.

I agree with some there are some repetition in this movie but it is really funny and the way he mocks people is great. I just don't understand how they didn't get that he is mocking them. Also I have read in the news papers that he has been sued by some of the people there including the hotel which in fact was really taped and not set up.

Borat is a really great comedy although they could have left out some scenes. I would recommend it to anyone who can handle um....., well, just read a review. Man, I loved the scene in which he proposes to Pamela.
