Does this one still carry any currency among film fans, or has its novelty been tarnished by the memory of one too many Borat impersonations? Or perhaps did it come out just long enough ago (to paraphrase Joe Bob Briggs) that people just don't give a hoot about it anymore?

A movie like this would never be made today. It's basically trying to be as offensive as possible, but I thought it was hilarious. One of the the most laugh-out-loud movies I've seen. An 8/10, maybe even a 9/10.

It worked because it hadn't quite been done before. Thus it would not work again for a long time.

The part with the weatherman was one of the funniest parts, IMO.

Offensive to everyone and I loved every second of it. It gives no shits. A laugh riot and the type of film you just want to watch with all your friends.

7 It worked because it hadn't quite been done before. Thus it would not work again for a long time. Actually, Cohen's going to be trying something in the same vein in his new show Who Is America? Far from not working again, I suspect this sort of satire may play out more pungently than ever, considering that most Trumpers appear to be such self-regarding, humorless asshats--the type who are ready targets for being taken down hard by that style of humor. Look at what an idiot Cohen recently made Sarah Palin look like (okay, maybe that one wasn't that difficult) in the interview where he faked being a disabled veteran: incredibly offensive, and incredibly effective--and hilarious--all at the same time, very much like Borat. |
