Borat (2006)

Synopsis: A reporter from a third world country travels to the U.S. to learn more about the American way.
Appraisal: I had a moderate amount of amusement from this film; to be honest, I was bored at certain parts too. The anti-semitism bits are not very funny; the rodeo sequence, which had potential, turned out to be a dud; the scene at the antique shop is just old fashioned slapstick; none of this is really annoying, but the overall result is just a curious, though uneven, experiment that owes much of its structure and dynamics to television.
