..for me, it is borat. and it's not simply 'cause it's so roll-on-the-floor funny. the humour is full of sexual innuendos, (oh wait it's not exactly innuendo cause it doesn't attempt to hide), but it never gets crude which is pretty difficult to attain given the obviously sexual subject matter.
at first glance it may come across as cheap humour, with the other little digs at very traditional kinds of satire at institutions like marriage and the like. PLUS of course, all that R-rated stuff and borat himself in a skimpy one-piece bikini-lookalike.
what the trailers don't show is the heart-wrenching story behind the (mis)adventures of one man who wants, more than anything else: to belong; as well as a sincere, if somewhat misguided search for the love of his life.
so 'Borat', a tear-jerker? well not quite, unless you count the tears of laughter, but for me i had the 'lump-in-my-throat' feeling at certain parts of the story where it can get pretty poignant, rather dismal, and totally feeling sorry for that clowny character.
shall not reveal more, JUST WATCH IT and go into it, not that it's the only thing great about it, thinking that it's gonna be the funniest movie you ever watched.
