Did anyone think this movie was kind of......stupid?

I heard they got sued really bad upon its release. I hear horrible things about this movie. But people like it.
 
Well, I know that, but why did people turn around and sue them? Over a movie of all things. Yeah it was really stupid funny,lol. Some of the things they did in that movie made laugh really hard.
 
It's a stupid, old movie. BUT brings out the stereotypes of people from that region. All in all Sacha Baron Cohen does a great job portraying someone from that reason and he is hilarious. One of my favorite comedies honestly.
 
I liked the scene with the bear scaring the little kids from the ice cream truck, lol 😀
 
Not to be a captain obvious, but the stereotypes are the whole point. It's a mockumentary. He was a troll even before it was cool. He was doing his characters (Borat, Ali G, Bruno) from the 90s.
He's just a real life troll. And he is one of my favorite comedians. The movie shouldn't really have offended anyone because it's a comedy and uptight people that don't get the jokes shouldn't even watched it in the first place.
Just because it's made in a mockumentary style and with a low budget doesn't mean it should be sued. I mean, South Park jokes about everyone and everything and doesn't get sued and negative press as much as Borat. But South Park are popular. Borat is an unpopular, low-budget movie that's made to look real, but actually being fake.

Check out Da Ali G Show! It has segments with Ali G, Borat and Bruno.

Nicely put.
 
My name-ah Borat ! 😛

A 'meh' movie with some funny parts. It wasn't meant to be an award winning masterpiece anyway.
