"You will never get this you will never get this lalalala..."
Borat is seriosly one of the funniest movies ever, it all starts off when borat (sachaa baron cohen) is appointed to go to the "US&A" from khazakstan but all doesen't work out when he gets there as he meets rodio clubs, gansta's, JEWS, and sings the khazakstan national anthem in the tune of the american national anthem!
All because he want's to go from new york to california to meet up with the women of his dreams.
"everybody laughs, high five!

Borat is among the funniest films I've seen in recent years. If you've seen Borat on Da Ali G Show, you know pretty much what to expect...for the most part. Borat seems like it's extremely offensive to the untrained, and who can blame them? If I didn't know Borat was fake, then I'd probably be up in arms too.

What makes Borat work so well is the reactions he gets. They expose the bigotry and prejudice that is still going on today in America while also making you laugh.

The only flaw is, suprisingly, the thing the film is most known for: the naked wrestling scene. I'm personally not offended, but it seems a tad infantile and wonky compared to the rest of the film.

Otherwise, I recommend you watch this film.

hmm, i had wanted to see this movie. the best way i can describe this movie is a Gay Porno" with horibly ugly guys. i mean it was nasty completely discusting, but in a ha ha ew way. yes that is a weird way to discribe a movie, but the shoe fits. i did not really like the movie, im glad i saw it at the $1.50 theater. but i have to say it was funny, it made me laugh alot, and it pissed me off alot to, it was really offensive, but still funny. i was probably the quitest person in the theater though. so if you like crude humor you will like it. but it is not a movie to watch over and over again.

It was shoddy, offensive, and I LOVED every minute of it! It mad some of the funniest movies I've ever seem seem boring in comparison. The sheer controversy, crude (and sometimes very sexual) humor, and the culture shock made it very good. The entire movie had a fairly good storyline with a satisfying ending, which I will not reveal. Fantastic movie, if you're over... 16 I'd recommend it.

  Borat is a rarity: a comedy whose middle name is danger, or as the Kazakhs say, kauwip-kater.

  The result is a perfect combination of slapstick and satire, a Platonic ideal of high-and lowbrow that manages to appeal to our basest common denominators while brilliantly skewering racism, anti-Semitism, sexism and that peculiarly American affliction: we're-number-one-ism.

  Wildly funny. Its best jokes approach some savage, atavistic core of cultural taboo and make the viewer wonder: Is it really possible to laugh at this? But by the time you formulate that question, it's too late: You're already laughing.

  As clever as he is crude, Cohen alchemizes bad-taste comedy into Strangelovean satire.

  Though Borat has been likened to "Jackass," there's a huge difference. The "Jackass" movies are about extreme stunts. Borat is about interaction and gullibility, and its success is unique to both Cohen and to this one-time-only movie.

  A comic put-on of awe-inspiring crudity and death-defying satire and by a long shot the funniest film of the year. It is "Jackass" with a brain and Mark Twain with full frontal male nudity.

  It's screamingly, hysterically, laugh-through-the-next-joke, laugh-for-the-next-week funny. It's so inventive...This is a film by an original and significant comic intelligence.

  This is comedy from the danger zone, and it will genuinely offend some folks who feel certain subjects are not to be laughed at. They'd best stay at home. Fans should be warned as well: Borat can make you laugh so hard it hurts.
