The French Borat
Antoine de Maximy has been described as the French Borat. His show, I'll Stay at Yours, has been a hit on French TV for a few years and now, of course, it is getting a movie spin-off, I'll Stay the Night. For the film, he'll be crossing the States, coast to coast - perhaps thats where the Borat comaprison comes from? Because, otherwise, I understand, he's nothing like Borat at all. He's quite soft, for one thing, and doesn't really have an agenda.
Sounds deathly dull - but have you seen the show? What is it really like? And will it cross over to international audiences?

Whoever has made that equivocation obviously has never seen de Maximy's show - which is good in a touchingly comedic kind-of-way. Not sure whether it will suit a movie crossover, though, and even if it works in French, I strongly doubt the humour will survive translation.
