BORAT: CULTURAL LEARNINGS OF AMERICA FOR MAKE BENEFIT GLORIOUS NATION OF KAZAKHSTAN
They should have stationed paramedics outside the Toronto Film Festival screening room when the critics saw Borat. Reviewers who are normally stone-faced emerged with busted guts and granite smiles from laughing so helplessly, so explosively, at this incendiary sort-of-documentary comedy. The reaction was similar when civilians saw the movie two months later; the film, in which Sacha Baron Cohen takes his fake Kazakh journalist on a road trip across the U.S., has earned $220 million at the worldwide box office in its first six weeks. All of which proves... what? Maybe that Americans don't mind being insulted, punk'd, psychologically depantsed, as long as the fellow doing it has nice manners. Anyway, Borat is a great daredevil stunt. If there's a more treacherously funny movie in the next 10 years, hand me my heart medicine and point me to it.
