BORAT
Kat: l.5

This relatively inexpensive movie is about a reporter from Kazhigstan who goes around the US interviewing people on his quest to L.A. to marry Pamela Anderson. I have to admit that although I did find this movie amusing at times (hence the .5, instead of just a 1) I also found it to be insulting. I was very disturbed by many of the images and offended by most of his insensitive remarks towards women, Jews, etc. His jokes were not intellectually stimulating or even clever. I found it amusing not because of its sheer wit, but more along the lines of WTF!! This is a movie comparable to Jackass....if you like that sort of thing then this movie is for you. If not then I suggest saving yourself the $10 and watching something else.
