Borat

Anyway, slightly longer review. As film society members we get tickets to various advance screenings, so 98% of the time if I see a movie early it isn't because some publicist has decided the almighty Atrios should have a free ticket.


For those who know (and like) the character from the Ali G show, the movie will not disappoint and will in fact surpass your expectations. It's very very funny, and often very very wrong. At times it goes a bit far in that at some point ironic racist/misogynistic humor becomes a bit indistinguishable from actual racist/misogynistic humor. But, I haven't been to a movie where people laughed that much in a long time, if ever...

And Jesus's General will love this movie, perhaps more than he's ever loved anything before...
