Borat's cultural learning is revealing, even if it doesn't adequately convey how it benefits glorious nation of Kazakhstan.

The backlash just proves how deep a nerve the faux Kazakh journalist has hit.

The genius of Borat is all in Sacha Baron Cohen's daring, edgy, unrestrained performance.

Borat is a serious work of social criticism. But it's also the funniest movie I've ever seen.

The theory of comedy here is that you can get away with almost anything if you manage to make your target audience feel superior to the human beings being mocked on the screen.

I did find this to be one of the more inventive, aggressively offensive and insanely tasteless comedies in many a year. And yeah, that's a thumbs-up.

In the tactics of Cohen, Charles and their collaborators ... there is a level of social insularity, sneering and intellectual sadism that is positively disturbing.

Borat is funny, spleen-bursting funny, although you may catch yourself wondering if these are the kind of jokes you should be laughing at.

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

Mar 29, 2016This IS my single favorite comedy movie of all time. Sacha Baron Cohen has always been really great with his mockumentary characters like Ali G and of course, Borat. But this movie truly shows the range of his fabulous writing and dialogue and his incredibly acting skills that open the door for other fun cameos like Pamela Anderson, who he is incredibly in love with. This is one of the best movies that Cohen has ever made and it is also one of those films that is always worth watching again.Lasse G Super Reviewer

Aug 01, 2013It's crude, offensive, satirical and emphatic in the funniest of ways. Sacha Baron Cohen is brilliant as Borat. This mockumentary of a cross-country trip around America from the eyes of a joyous tourist explores the truthful and boasting culture of American society. Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is a pushy film that is highlighted by the characterization of its main character and morality of the trek across a nation. 3.5/5Eugene B Super Reviewer

May 15, 2013Disgusting. It isn't funny to be made to feel uncomfortable for other people for 83 minutes unless you have a serious personality flaw.Christian C Super Reviewer

Mar 14, 2013Mixes seamlessly live unconfortable interviews with an actual plot with outrageous offensive results that are absolutly genius on making a point but are also there just for giggles. There's a joke at every corner and pretty much every single one is pure gold. Definently one of the most important and funny comedies on the 00s.Francisco G Super Reviewer
