I was one of the first to see this trailer during The Omen. Ever since then, I have cried everyday because it's not Novemeber 3rd.

I dunno, Ali G: In da House sucked balls.

The Ali G character isn't as funny as the Borat character.

[Glitch]

There's no way this movie can't be good. Even if all the jokes in the trailer were the only ones actually in the movie.

The Ali G character isn't as funny as the Borat character.

What a highly logical analyzation.

Aint It Cool News says Borat's movie made them laugh all the way through.

[Bacon McShig]

AICN says everything is great. They make Dave Halverson look like a discerning critic.

[Drewbacca]

This is true.

[Frogacuda]

Is this a scripted movie like the Ali G thing, or is it reality-based Borat fucking with people like the show?

[Dolemite]

Nothing could possibly be worse than Ali G: In da House. Therefore, by default, the Borat movie will be better.

Also, they're doing a smart thing with the Borat movie- they're sticking with the format of the TV show. Cohen is a genius when it comes to improv, so he should stick with his strength (at least until he gets better script writers- whoever wrote In Da House should have their balls fried).

Anyway, while Borat has a running plotline, the vast majority of the movie is Borat doing his usual shtick- interacting with real, unsuspecting people who think he's from Kazakhstan and don't know they're actually just in a movie.

Is this a scripted movie like the Ali G thing, or is it reality-based Borat fucking with people like the show?

From what I've read, it's something like 80-90% reality based. What isn't is just for the puropses of forwarding the "plot," which involves Borat watching an episode of Baywatch and falling in love with Pam Anderson. Hearing his wife has died back in Kazakhstan, he begins a cross-country trek to make Pam his new bride, all the while filming his documentary on America. Pretty much no one in the movie, including Pam Anderson, is in on it.
