Borat is, at times, ridiculously funny. There are some lulls in the action, some things that make the viewer very uncomfortable, and some things that are just plain wrong (e.g. male nude wrestling), but all in all the movie is a wonderful distraction from everyday life. I'm sure you all know the premise: Borat is a Khazikstani journalist sent to the U.S. to bring back the American way of life for his people. In the process, he gets a restraining order from Pamela Anderson, learns to dress from some homeys, nearly gets lynched for singing the wrong anthem at a rodeo, and shows off his package at every instance possible. If you've seen the television show, then you'll know Borat is a bit hard on the Jews. And women. Well, he manages to piss off most uptight people, regardless of gender or religious view, so I guess I don't need to point that out. Just be warned: he doesn't pull punches, so if you're easily offended by something - anything at all - you may wish to reconsider viewing this film. If you're not uptight and stuck on yourself, this film is great fun. It's refreshing to be able to laugh at things you're not normally allowed to laugh at in this overly PC touchy-feely-fest we call a country. Borat may take things a little far, but that's half the fun, wondering if he's going to cross some invisible line into extreme bad taste (most of the movie is in moderate bad taste). Highly recommended!Read full review
This has to be one of the funniest movie films I have ever seen! I went to see this in the theatre twice and just loved it. I knew I needed to own this DVD to view time and time again over the years. When I got the DVD I was stoked! The DVD has sooooo many extras, all kinds of awesome additional scenes, as well as appearances by Borat (in charachter) on Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno. VERY NICE!!! As always, buy this DVD here on eBay, b/c you will be paying much more in the stores!
In generla it is very good, funny, he is smart to make people fall in their conversations and make them look like real idiots, but that is the funny part, it might be a little offensive on some explicit male nudity that we are not used to see on television, maybe that is his point, if it is a woman is fine but showing a man might raise some eyebrows, worth the 90 minutes to watch for adults though.
amazing movie, very funny, very... interesting
