Review of Borat

Borat (2006)
6/10
My expectations were too high
5 November 2006
Warning: Spoilers
I can't remember the last time I had such anticipation for something, the closest that I can describe it was when I was 12 years old, all pumped up and waiting for the Ninja turtles movie to come to the cinema. I've been a great fan of Sacha Baron's crazy comedy and especially Borat. I've watched the two Borat trailers over and over and over again like a madman, laughing just as much and pushing the bar of expectations higher and higher each time. Then I saw the IMDb rating and knew it was a done deal-I was going to p*ss my pants watching a movie in the cinema...

I am deeply saddened that this was definitely not the case:( I will not go into details, because frankly, it pains me I didn't like this movie as much as I'd hoped. It pains me I actually dozed off for a couple of minuted towards the end, that's how unamused I was. I don't know what happened, all I know is that I will reduce my cinema visits even further.

I'd like to finish off by saying that I truly hope Sacha makes more Borat clips and unforgettable comic moments, I don't want it to end on a low note.
