Quite controversial, I can see why. He does portrait Kazachstan as a country full of oversexed violent -and almost primitive- people, but guess it shows the weirdness of the people he meets when they really don't see there was something not right about this man. I mean, a remotely realistic person should have known there was something not real about that character, or is the average American really that naive that they believe Kazachstan is really like that?!
I did like the film. The jokes itself are a bit cliche and sometimes very slapstick, but the astonished reactions of the filmed people are funnier than the jokes itself in fact, the whole 'candid camera' film approach is nice (must say I didn't see the Ali G one so cannot comment on the originality of this Borat concept). It does get a bit eerie when realising that gun salesman was really serious about his comments how to shoot jews...
And that hotelroom wrestling scene was beyond gross![]()
the dvd is worth it just for the extras alone!
