He's pretty funny when he's on Letterman but I didn't think too much of the movie itself....kinda like bathroom humor.

I like the Ali G persona better than the Borat.

A couple funny bits (and when he's funny, he's VERY funny) but mostly just mean-spirited.

I laughed a bit but didn't really like the movie.

My brother was saying he knows people who quote it, like some people used to do with Austin Powers, Wayne's World etc...

YAAAAAWWWWWNNNN.

College boy humor. Having never been a college boy, didn't find it funny.

It grew on me after a second view.

There is a lot of "Got ya!" humor in it which can be great when aimed at the targets that really need it like the frat boys. But for guys like the humor teacher, it was just mean.

But, they didn't really stick with that and the movie improved when they focused on Borat's quest.

And while no one will admit to it, the naked fight was the funniest thing seen on film in years.

I've already admitted that on here. That naked wrestling scene with his manager made me laugh so much I had to go to the bathroom for fear of chundering.

I wish he'd do a sequel BORAT IN KOREA.

Borat? Like Paris Hilton - I'm so sick of hearing his name. See also Chuck Norris.

Incredibly boring.

I am watching this movie "the karate kid," and it may be the best martial arts movie ever made! I just got to the "wax on...wax off" part. Philosophically brilliant. Have you seen it? What's your take on it?

Borat visits the dairy section of a supermarket in the United States of America and interviews the dairy manager.

"cheese."

10 minutes of this. We were literally sick with laughter.
