• A pretty good review from Lee at Lee's Movies.

  "...the movie is just gag after gag after gag…and it works damn well. I saw The 40-Year-Old Virgin many months early, as well as Starsky & Hutch, and I’ve never seen an early audience go as nuts over a movie as they did for Borat."

What the fans say

On Friday 3rd February the movie "Borat" was screen tested in front of an audience of 400 at Marina del Rey in California, USA.

A number of BoratOnline fans were at the showing and they emailed the site yesterday absolutely full of enthusiasm for the film.

The following list of comments are from fans who emailed BoratOnline.

"I just thought you might like to know that I was privileged to see a test screening of the Borat movie this evening. It was HILARIOUSLY funny. They had us fill out a questionnaire afterwards letting them know what we thought of the movie, it is definitely something to look forward to!"
BoratOnline fan

"Just wanted to drop a line and say that I saw the first public screening of the "Borat" film last night. it was quite possibly one of the greater things I've ever witnessed. I had predicted before hand that it was either gonna be the worst film of the year (Ali g in da house) or the best. it was hands down the best. we've coined it as "Breaking the waves" meets "Jackass" meets "Bowling for Columbine". There is never a dull moment, it is by far the most offensive and hilarious thing I have ever laid eyes on. the crowd went insane from start to finish and afterwards they handed out comment cards, and everybody was still dying just remembering moments from the film. just to give you a hint, there is a grotesque 10 minute fight sequence between two entirely nude men, one 300+ in weight."
BoratOnline fan


"I was lucky enough to view the first ever screening of the Borat movie. It was amazing. The plot is that Borat leaves Kazakhstan in order to document American life.
---His fat wife says to him before he leaves: If you cheat on me I will snap your cock off!
Anyways... Borat travels with his producer, Azamat, a very fat man. When Borat arrives in NY he has trouble on the escalator and also tries to kiss random NY'ers on the subway and on the street. He even chases them.
The main plot is that Borat watches Tv and falls in love w/ Baywatch's Pam Anderson. he decides to travel to Malibu to marry her."
The madness ensues."
