A couple of chuckles at the start but the stunts and the absurdity weren't especially funny.

I watched about ten minutes and turned it off. I may or may not come back to it at a later date.

Watched it last night. It will make the actress who played his daughter a star.

It depends what you enjoy in comedy. All the 'shocking' stuff...sort of brave, and in most cases well performed, but funny? I don't think so.
Worth a watch if you can do so for free, I'd say.

Thoughts?
I mean, yes it's a parody obviously, so he doesn't MEAN to offend Kazakhstan. However, one of my boy's friends has a Kazakhstan mother and she says that the movie caused a LOT of offence in the country.

"Borat is the most racist movie in history". He's obviously never seen Triumph of the Will!

"Borat is the most racist movie in history". He's obviously never seen Triumph of the Will! NEARLY the most. And never mind Triumph of the Will, what about Birth of a Nation? Or Gone with the Wind, any Fu Manchu movie, and a shedload of classic Westerns. What I take issue with is the equation of taking the piss out of national stereotypes with racism, which is akin to caling anyone who has abjections to Israel's foreign policy as anti-semites.

However, one of my boy's friends has a Kazakhstan mother and she says that the movie caused a LOT of offence in the country. I couldn't give a shit - no offence Kazakhstan - but when the lot claim everything is racist from the British countryside to Covid then their perceived hypocrisies leave ample room for "hang on a minute". Humour is critical and can be cruel and unfeeling too but its about making you laugh. "Punching down" can be funny too if done right. Anyway, the most racist movie is clearly White Chicks. Which I have actually seen and, yes, it's as bad as it looks.

I thought it was hilarious. Oh man. I watched it with an ex - who was black - and her mates (also black) and they thought it was hilarious! I was just sat there like wtf? Why are you laughing at this? Maybe they saw something in it I didn't but, sheesh. And I say that as someone who was chuckling along to Dirty Grandpa the other week for crying out loud.
