Borat
I just saw it on DVD and laughed my head off. Loved it. Not nearly as outrageous as I thought it was going to be, but maybe that’s just me and my sensibilities.
Anneli recommended it and that was a good sign, but I half expected to be cringing mentally and emotionally half the time. I did, but in a good way.
If you haven’t seen it, and aren’t easily offended, see it. There’s a dozen laugh out loud hilarious bits, most tied to the fact that the Americans Borat is with are being wickedly satirized just by being themselves and reacting to Borat just being ‘himself’.
Borat: not just another petty farce.

If someone had ever asked me if rabid, mediaeval, childishly irrational anti-Semitism could be this hilarious, I would never have thought the answer would be ‘Yes’.
Funnier even still because, apparently, Sacha Baron Cohen is himself an observant Orthodox Jew.
Shows to go ya.
