Borat

No, it's not the funniest movie ever made. But it has to rank up there. It's not an entirely original idea--the concept owes a lot to the Festrunk brothers from old SNL days, among others--but the trip is brilliantly executed here. Sacha Baron Cohen's particular genius seems to be a dogged determination never to break character, plus a great instinct for never letting a gag go too long (a common mistake in comedy). I don't know from offensive, so I won't warn anyone away from this hodgepodge of racial/ethnic humor; movies like this are for real adults anyway. Bottom line: if you have any kind of sense of humor, you will laugh
