Title: Borat's snoozefest reveals America's hunger for humor
Review: How I wished Bort's Cultural Learnings would have been funny. I thought the premise was goofy -- this sort of ethnic humor wasn't too funny back in the days of Bill Dana's Jose Jimenez or Yacob Smirnoff or whatever their names. Nonetheless, I gave it an honest effort, even sitting through the whole thing. While the theater had a lot of people, it struck me that the laughs, and there were some, to be sure, just didn't come often enough for people to feel like they were truly having a good time. I know that at a certain point I waited for it to be over. When it ended I felt like my friends felt the same. The humor is not really offensive; it's just that the film alternates between smugness and overkill. I recommend that you wait to see this when it comes to a discount theater. Watching it made me wonder what a really funny film could accomplish if this movie is "popular."
