"Borat"
Anyone going to see this one?

Review from my local paper

Borat" is unquestionably, honestly, literally the funniest film I have ever seen.
Conceptually brilliant and fearlessly executed, it rewrites the rules of screen comedy, presenting something never before seen on film: a gene-splice of Andy Kaufman's high-wire character humor and caught-on-the-street pranks from "Punk'd."

In my local paper (NY Daily News) the reviewer gave it 4 stars (out of 4) and actually said to bring an extra pair of underwear because you will pee in your pants from laughing so hard.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

I saw the guy on Letterman and I didn't think he was funny, so I probably will wait for a video release on this one

Ali G is the funniest guy ever! He gets interviews from Presidents, Prime Ministers, Donald Trump (who shut down the interview real fast), right wing Christians (those are the funniest interviews ever!), Congressman.....ANYONE!

I don't know how he does it. He must have some really good PR people because these people would never agree to an interview if they knew they would be made fun of....haha.

I remember he interviewed a guy in charge of the FBI's dolphin program to find bombs in the water. And he was asking questions like 'so how does the dolphin disarm the bomb' and 'if dolphins are smarter than dogs, why don't they get out of the water'. I dunno....he asks the stupidest questions while being so serious that the person being interviewed answers the questions, honestly. Except Donald Trump who lasted about one question before he shut that down.

The Pat Robertson interview was so funny, too.

Then he created Borat and that just tipped the iceberg. I can't wait to see this movie. I saw that his shows will be coming out on regular cable instead of just HBO
