Borat

The goal of Borat, I assume, was to show people in the US how ridiculous some aspects of its culture truly are. Let all America laugh at the racist southerner and the sexist frat boy. But watching this film I felt like the joke was truly on the US. Because sadly the racist guy and the sexist college student aren't the exception, I think they are the rule. Tie that in with some unfunny stuff involving naked wrestling and you have a movie that the general masses will eat up like candy. But for me this film just wasn't funny. It was more sad than funny.
