The movie isn't out yet. I think it comes out the first weekend in Nov.
The comedian who does the Borat character name is iirc Sasha Cohen and he cracks me up. Its very very unPC and he offends just about everyone he can but I still laugh.
He had a TV show on one of the cable channels, showtime or HBO and the Borat character was in them along with his most famous character Ali G, the stereotypical white boy gangsta rap wannabe with a cockney accent.
One of the Borat skits on the show was him trying out for a theater production in NY and he acts a scene from a movie he supposedly starred in in his home country. VERY VERY unPC and offensive but had me in stitches.
One of the funniest things I ever saw on TV was he tricked the guy who does the sit down interviews with actors...something Lipton into an interview with Ali G. Oh man some of the questions and answers were priceless. He even got the old grumpy guy from 60 minutes, Rooney to do an interview and he had him so mad by the end of it that he pretty much kicked him out of his office.
