Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan


* * * 1/2


A month or so ago, I reviewed Team America: World Police and said it was one of the most politically incorrect and hilarious movies I had ever seen. Then Sacha Baron Cohen made Borat, and that previous review changed.

This movie is so over-the-top incorrect, it almost isn't funny. You have to have a sense of humor going into it and you'll end up laughing your ass off. I found myself laughing so hard, I almost couldn't take it. Here's how funny I thought this movie was: I laughed so hard at one of the deleted scenes, that I got a stitch in my side and couldn't catch my breath for a good two to three minutes.

So, here's the story, Borat is a reporter from Kazakhstan and he is sent to America to learn it's culture so he can in return, make his own country better. Along the way, he meets a variety of new friends while searching for the American dream.

Like I said, there are a lot of things in this movie that some may not enjoy. Its almost like watching a Jackass movie, but the super gross stuff is Borat trying to relate to women or Jewish people. There is also a scene where a naked Borat chases the producer of the TV show, who is also naked, through a hotel with a rubber dildo fist. Again, a grain of salt. There are so many things I would like to tell you about this movie too, but will not because I do not necessarily share the same opinions as Borat.

I honestly think people should see this movie. It is honestly one of the funniest movies to come out in a really long time and I can only hope that Sacha Baron Cohen will continue to make good movies like this one and pass on stuff like Talladega Nights.

Three cheers for Borat. Three and a half stars for the movie.
