Title: A dumbed-down version of the smart HBO show
Review: "Borat" is like a car crash that draws in the lowest common denominators. It's like Cohen had a brain cramp and figured the best way to stretch his tv material into a movie was to remove the more clever ideas and add more boorishness and vulgarity (which he also seemed to do with the Ali G. movie.) Sadly i think the reason this movie did so well in this country is that many of the people that he was trying to make fun of didn't get his jokes. If anything, he overestimated the intelligence of the American public. How else can you explain two terms with the worst president ever and morally reprehensible war. Then again, maybe Cohen did know what he was doing. Either way, the joke is on us Americans. Perhaps we'll wake up and see what a mess we've made once the housing and stock markets collapse. We don't realize that the part of the world that doesn't already hate us isn't laughing with us so much as laughing at us.
