I actually enjoyed it too. And, despite the wild antics and the focus on Kazakhstan, the film did manage to say some things about America. The examples may have been been few and extreme, but the some of the attitudes displayed are still nonetheless more prevelant to some degree (though, yes, rarely to that extreme).

Oh, well, thanks... I guess I have to see it now! =P

BTW, you should go see "Stranger than Fiction." It is VERY good, despite the fact that the protagonist is played by a product of SNL ignominy. It is a serious, yet quirky, little film that brings up some serious existential questions.
