High five! Make sexy time with this moviefilm.
The ambush style of docu-comedy is very bittersweet. At once it evokes an incredibly uncomfortable squeamish feeling, but quite often it induces uncontrollable laughter. Borat is much like any on-the-street-with-the-people comedy, only more so. While it boasts one of the most dedicated performances in the history of cinema, the real stars of this film are the real people and their reactions to this foreigner. It’s sometimes transparent that the filmmakers set up a situation to squeeze the most comedy out of it, but with the editing, the laughs are plentiful and that’s all that matters. By the time Borat is over, my stomach hurt and I wasn’t sure if it was laughing so much or from seeing just how hateful our country can be, sometimes. Love it or hate it, this film is an undeniable part of this decade’s pop culture.
