It's hard to find anyone with an equivocal stance on Borat. In the opinion of his fans, he is a satirical genius. In the opinion of the Kazakhstan ambassador to the UK, he is "a stupid, belligerent pig of a man". According to Guardian critic Peter Bradshaw, the Borat movie is worthy of a five-star rave. According to the Observer's Jason Solomons it is "one step up from Jeremy Beadle ... or even one step down."
So where do you stand on Borat: the man and the motion picture? Is Sacha Baron Cohen's creation as radical as he's cracked up to be? Or is he as offensive and puerile as others (including the Anti-Defamation League) would have it? Did the way in which the film juggle real-life stunts with antics that are obviously staged undermine your enjoyment? (It slightly did mine). Or do you think the film gets the balance right in converting Cohen's subversive TV snippets into a more structured, feature-length comedy?
Yes, I know that Borat isn't actually out until tomorrow, but please don't let that stop you from putting in your own two-pennyworth. Judging from the blanket coverage the film has already received, it doesn't seem to have stopped anyone else.
