I went a full week listening to everyone's comments on Borat, inadvertanly hearing some of the best jokes and learning about the funniest parts.  After finally seeing the movie, I wasn't that impressed.  Don't get me wrong, it has several unparalled comedic scenes, and Sacha Baron Cohen does an admirable job of staying in character while putting unsuspecting people into extremely awkward situations.  I'll even go so far as to agree that on a small scale, he's a comedic genious and exposed his subjects for the bigots, racists, and just plain idiots that they really are.  But I thought that the movie dragged on during the scripted 'plot' parts, and I found myself wondering whether some of the pranks were actually staged.  Since everyone has seen the movie by now (spolier alert if you haven't), the Pam Anderson sacking was undoubtedly set up, and I refuse to believe that it wasn't.  There is no way that it would have went on for that long and she would not have run outside to the parking lot.  And some of my friends loved the nude wrestling sequence, but I found it gross and completely unneccessary...okay, the look on the guy's face in the elevator was priceless, but it was still too painful for the eyes.  I'm also certain the DVD release will have tons of deleted and uncensored scenes that we too controversial for the already lenient 'R' rating -- and I may just have to watch them...
