Toby and I finally got a little ‘date’ time yesterday. We decided to go see Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. We were told by numerous people that it was absolutely hysterical! I have to say I didn’t care for it. There was one wrestling scene that I thought was pretty funny, but otherwise, I was kind of offended. I can understand why Kazakhstan is so enraged. There were a few jokes here and there at the expense of Americans, but the movie really made kazakhstan look like a country of backward thinking, racist, idiots. I have to say, I am ready for Americans to be nice to the rest of the world!
E wanted to go see Borat as well, since even the NYT gave it great reviews. We were dissapointed too…
