All right, I gave it a chance, and saw it last night. SWMBO had obtained free tickets, which is good, because it wasn't really worth the $13/person it would have cost to see. It was better than I was expecting -- there were a few parts that did make me chuckle, but there certainly wasn't enough to make me guffaw loudly, let alone at nearly everything the way the bloke 6 rows back and to the right did. I got more laughs out of some of the trailers that showed before Borat. On the whole, it felt contrived, strained in parts, fell flat, and was in constant danger of losing my attention entirely. SWMBO fell asleep.
