I have a slightly different opinion of the film in that…I f’n loved it.
I don’t want to give anything away, so I won’t talk about any specifics, but I enjoyed all of the elements of this film. There were scripted scenes, candid camera moments (to borrow Jorin’s comparison), and great slapstick/physical comedy moments that were absolutely hysterical. I think that the reason I liked Borat so much was because it wasn’t the same gag over and over.
I know that it isn’t a “traditional” film but I can’t think of a movie that I’ve seen (in recent memory or maybe ever) that has made me laugh that hard. This is the movie that has come closest (I am fully aware that this revelation may discredit my opinion).
