Totally going to see this tonight with the boy and a group of friends. I'm so psyched! We're going to see movie-film!

Could someone explain this to me in 100 words or fewer? I don't want to watch a trailer at work but am curious about whether I'd find this funny or terrible.

Sacha Cohen in "ignorant Anti-Semitic, anti woman" character who comes to America, speaks poor English and tricks people into believing it's real. I want to see it because he commits to the character 100% and says offensive things that people don't know how to react to (and often go along with) just because they're a) on camera or b) think the foreign man is odd but nice.
Satire directed at the American people. (Was that 100?)

Hm, that sounds pretty lame and predictable.
You know, I find that guy in those credit card commercials -- the faux European dude who talks about "very very very rewarding" while his sidekick dances and stuff -- hilarious, but I think it's because he's not trying too hard. It sounds like Borat is trying too hard. I'm all about faux European dudes, but you have to be more random than obnoxious.

His is classic, he's used the character a lot and it's gotten a 95% at Rotten Tomatos. I'm going to see it. I just don't think it's explainable.

I agree with you there. When people say "go see Borat...he will offend you and hopefully make you laugh either nervously or because he's really funny" it kind of kills it. Just like anyone who is trying really hard to offend whether it is sattire or just being an asshole.
I thought he was funny when I saw him on an interview but it's overkill so I won't be seeing this movie--until maybe the dollar theater gets it.

He is offensively funny. I watched some interview with him on MSNBC, I believe. That was the first time he granted a semi-civil interview to a female reporter because women don't have such roles in his country. He's always in character and I think he needs to remain somewhat reclusive--it spoils it for me to see him doing the MTV News even if he's still in full character.
The sattire is directed at American people and he also takes stabs at his homeland, which is why the spokespersons from his country have supposedly spoken out against him.

Just a note, He's not actually Kazakh.
