Borat - Page 2

Interesting that it's been only men commenting positively on this film's humor. I know two women who have seen the movie, or began watching but walked out, and both said it was "filthy" and "disgusting." I don't plan to see it.

Borat

And now a Romanian Village is suing the makers of Borat for misrepresentation of their intent. This really seems to be a common thread in all the lawsuits. Looks like these folks thought the movie was about Romanian poverty...

Borat Sports & Fashion Music Movies

One of my uncles took myself and a younger cousin to see Borat. At one point, we all were either fervently looking away from the screen or in my uncle's case, had his head covered with his coat, even though we were laughing.

Borat is a very bizarre movie. We laughed pretty much all the way through it but I definitely can't say I recommend it to anyone and am not really impressed or even content with it, and have told others that if there were some way they could come down with a broken ankle or bird flu, to prevent them from seeing this, that it wouldn't necessarily be a big loss for them.

I had no personal urge to see this movie and wouldn't have if it hadn't been for my uncle, but I have a number of movies I have intentionally not seen, or which disinterest me so much I've never even bothered trying to catch them on TV.

Personally the thing I'm most shocked about is that this movie not only made it into the top movie rankings for a while, but was NUMBER ONE - I live in the Bible Belt in the Midwest and having seen this move, I can't imagine these ratings coming from THIS area - they definitely had to have mostly come from the coasts.

Court dismisses suit by man in "Borat" film

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A lawsuit filed by a man seen running away from comedian Sacha Baron Cohen in his hit "Borat" film was dismissed by a federal judge on Wednesday. Jeffrey Lemerond, who appeared in the trailer and a 13-second clip in "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," sued 20th Century Fox, a unit of News Corp., in federal court in Manhattan in June.
