Movie fans Michael Adams and Denise Hoepfner decided to see what all the fuss was about and picked up "Borat" this week. The movie was crude and offensive, but both loved it. Denise also picked up "Casino Royale" to satisfy her Daniel Craig addiction.

MICHAEL: I realized two things this week, Denise! First, we have fans! But more importantly, that I can find something totally offensive and repulsive, and still love everything about it.

DENISE: Well, that's marriage for you. And one complimentary e-mail does not a fan base make.

MICHAEL: I wasn't talking about marriage. I was talking about "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit of Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," rated R.

DENISE: Oooh, OK. My apologies to all married people. "Borat" was offensive — unapologetically so. Every stereotype was played out, every ethnic group mocked, but underneath it all there was a message — way underneath it all.

MICHAEL: The movie begins with TV reporter Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen), going to America — the greatest nation in the world — to make a documentary about how Americans live.

DENISE: He and his producer head to New York, where he sees a rerun of Baywatch and falls in love with Pamela Anderson. He convinces his producer to go to California, where he hopes to convince Anderson to marry him.

MICHAEL: Along the way they get involved in several misadventures, like trying to buy a new Hummer for $700 and learning dining etiquette.

DENISE: And buying a bear for protection and engaging in a visually painful naked fight with his not-so-attractive producer.

MICHAEL: I would say my favorite part of this movie, and there were many, was when he asked if it was appropriate to bring a guest to dinner and when the host said yes, he calls a prostitute. This was some brilliant comedy.

DENISE: I'm normally not a fan of ambush humor, and I'm not down-playing the crudeness in any way, but it was a funny movie. The message is that with the right attitude, everyone can find happiness. Another thought: the politically incorrect humor in "Borat" shines a light on society's prejudices and ultimately our own. However, if you don't think you can get past the over-the-top crudeness and vulgarity, then this movie isn't for you.

MICHAEL: I loved it. This movie was really funny. Plus it pokes fun at Russian culture and I'm a huge fan of Russian culture and history. I understand you picked up another film that tickled your fancy.

DENISE: Oh yes. That would be "Casino Royale," featuring Daniel Craig as James Bond. I can sum up this movie in two words: Yum-Yum.

MICHAEL: Calm down, just because the main actor is good looking doesn't mean the movie's good. Not every Jessica Biel or Kirsten Dunst movie is watchable.

DENISE: There was controversy over Craig's selection as the new Bond, but he was by far the sexiest, most rugged Bond ever. I watched the movie three times before I even noticed it had a plot.

MICHAEL: Aren't you married?

DENISE: Yeah, but we have an understanding when it comes to things that will never happen in reality. Anyway, my husband enjoyed the movie too, just not for the same reasons.

MICHAEL: I've never been a huge fan of Bond movies, but I heard this one was really good. Was it?

DENISE: I'm not a Bond fan either, but it was excellent — although a little more violent than most Bond films. In it, a young, brash Bond receives his 00 status from M. He's at a point where ego dictates a lot of his actions. His first major case involves trying to shut down a terrorist faction by stopping the money supply.

MICHAEL: OK, sounds interesting so far.

DENISE: To do this he travels to the Bahamas and engages in a high-stakes poker game. A treasury representative, played by Eva Green, is sent along to keep an eye on him and the money the government fronted for the game. In usual Bond fashion, the representative is a gorgeous female.

MICHAEL: You know, Denise Richards played the Bond girl in the last Bond film and I wasn't sold. Was Green better?

DENISE: Green was good, but she wasn't the typical Bond girl. After watching this movie you learn why Bond is so cavalier toward women. The movie is rated PG-13 because of violence, and deservedly so. But overall it's a great movie for both sexes.
