Its her. There's no disputes about it. there was also no cut between him showing the sack and then snatching her. the person running outside the mall might be someone else. But inside its definitely her.

I saw it a couple weeks ago at a sneak preview and I thought it was pretty much the funniest movie I've seen yet. I'm pretty sure the rest of the audience thought so too because I couldn't hear half of the movie due to all the laughter. I plan on seeing it again this week with some of my friends.

Who gives a crap if their is some cock in the movie? The majority of it is blurred out and the whole scene is still hilarious. Stop being homophobes and get a sense of humor.

How the hell did they get Pamela Anderson to do that? She HAD to be in on it. Not sure about the security, but she just HAD to be in.

Just came back from watching this and OMG was it hilarious.

There was NO way that was unscripted. He would be in jail after something like that and some of the fans or security guards would've at least stopped him from chasing her around the store.

It was funny when I noticed the reaction from the audience throughout the movie. From the OMG IS HE SERIOUS when he rolls up in the black neighborhood to the dead silence from the frat boys and rodeo anthem.

Article: "[...] Borat" could wind up grossing $200 million to become the biggest comedy of all time."

I can see the possibility here, the film was outrageous and innovative as well. There was no real film I could line it up to, it was sort of like a Tom Green adventure, except Green is so fake. Cohen makes his real-world prankster character believable. I was laughing almost the whole time (some of the jewish "jokes" were so outrageous I didn't know if I should laugh or not).

"You like??!?!"


**(partial ending spoiler)**

By the way, end was a little cheesy. See, there were pamela's security guys standing there, but they didnt tackle him in the first shot, or the 2nd shot when he was running around the store, somehow he made it outside the store and THEN was tackled in the middle of the parking lot after what seemed like at least 30 seconds. (they were in on it :p)

I've never seen a movie that went to so far on political, racial, and homosexual jokes. And you know what? I loved every single second of it. :D

"Throw 'em more money! More!"

HAHA!

If you've seen all the Ali G shows, the movie is very similar. There are a few new skits/jokes.

It was funny and had its moments. But from all the hype, my expectations were too high.

His format and style works better as short skits.

Trust me, you won't be missing much. Like someone mentioned in another thread, laughing at a lost and confused foreigner can only be funny for soo long before it actually becomes boring and at times annoying. The entire movie is based upon this. If it werent for the shock factor in the movie, I would have fell asleep, seriously.

I've been wanting to see this since it came out and finally went, and wow this movie sucked. I find the show to be hilarious for the most part, but this was just disappointing.

Should've seen casino royale instead.
