I'm starting to know how my parents feel. I'm getting just old enough to see 'new' things and say "That's already been done". Case in point, the pointless movie whose marketing you can't get away from. Good rule of thumb on movies: Any movie that tries this hard to tell you it's good probably sucks. But my bigger point it is this: Didn't Yakov Smirnoff do this shtick back in the early 80's? If I was Yakov I'd be startin up a posse. On a more personal note, I think Borat looks a little too much like Dennis, one of my roommates in college. Anybody seen Dennis lately?
Ares
Athena here: since Ares is a little slow remembering this, I'll chime in. It was actually the late, great Andy Kaufman as Latka Gravas. And though we mortals sometimes were slow to tweak to Andy's genius, I still maintain he was one of the greats. May he rest in peace.
