Kay, I don't usually do any sort of movie reviewing. In fact, those who read this blog often know that I only ever go "ZOMG THIS MOVIE ROX" and move on. However, I have come across a movie so bad, it had to be done.

I had high expectations for Borat because I'd seen clips from the show and they were great. Laugh out loud hilarious. A very Trigger Happy style sort of show in which the innocent bystanders' reactions are the funniest part. The movie on the other hand? Oh, OW.

So many of my friends reccomended it and all I can say now is "did we see the same movie?" First off, the scripting was awful. I only enjoyed the parts that made the show so great: the preying on people who have no idea they're being filmed. That only made up maybe 20 minutes of the hour and a half long movie. The scripted parts were either completely lacking in humor, or just full of vulgarity. Jesus christ, if I had a nickel for everytime a male anatomy joke came up (or was shwon) I'd be a millionare. I'm not uptight about college humor; I think Anchorman was brilliant, after all. But I don't find humor in showing off body parts every two seconds or potty humor. Which is basically what the movie is made up of. I just don't get what's so funny about it.

Like I said, it's not me being uptight. There's an abundance of sexual humor in Anchorman that makes me die laughing, but the difference is you don't SEE it and it's tastefully done. Borat seemed to just be showing off private parts every 3 seconds for the shock factor. I really don't wanna see it and for the love of god, even in kiddie movies, I HATE POTTY HUMOR. All I can say is thank GOD I watched this before me and mom sat down to do it together. She woulda been pretty pissed off.

So in a nutshell: I waited for the lulz, and they never came. Hell, I turned off the movie fifteen minutes before it ended because I couldn't take it anymore. So uh, don't see it. Yea.
