Borat
This movie was done in a way where none of the people except for Borat and his cameraman was aware of the falsity of the reason why the meetings are being recorded. They were not aware of the movie being filmed but just of Borat, from Kazakhstan, trying to learn of the US.
If you set aside this fact, the movie is funny, yet sad. Because we are aware at how badly and mistreated people from other countries are treated and just how many actually go the extra mile to explain how things work in the US.
This movie also makes you think what the US did that made them so successful that other countries have not yet discovered.
Borat and his cameraman find themselves meeting with different American class people, races, ethnic backgrounds, beliefs, and technology. He also meets gets a chance to fall in love and pursue a romance. In the end, it seems Borat goes back to Kazakhstan with a very slim understanding of the USA as well as a few other things from the United States.
I believe that only adults should view this movie, because there are a lot of topics that are addressed that aren't done properly and are not good teaching tools for children. Also, there is some explicit sexual content.
I recommend seeing this movie and coming to your own conclusions. You can purchase it at your local Best Buy for about $20.

I personally found the movie to be very enjoyable, despite its flaws and unnecessary scenes that can be seen throughout. But that's just me, and obviously, everyone's entitled to their own personal opinion, but thanks for sharing your take on the movie ^_^
I thought it was funny, but I almost felt uncomfortable during parts. I am not sure how I would have acted.
I agree about being umcomfortable during certain parts, but other parts were hilarious.
