Unlike his Ali G film outing, Sacha Baron Cohen wisely films Borat in the same way he had with the TV series. Part documentary style, half skit. The result is a hilarious original comedy that upset people as much as it did entertain them, which is always the sign of a comedians? ...( read more)

Yeah, it's really not as good as I thought it was when I saw it in the theaters. The show was great, but Sacha Baron Cohen took a lot of the humor WAY too far, making it corny and often stupid. It's not horrible, but compared to the show, it's the ugly cousin. Watch "Da Ali G Sho...( read more)

This is one of tne of the funniest films I've seen in a long time. I sat, open mouthed, as Borat explained the corellation between a car breaking down and his 12 year old wife hitting puberty to a car salesman with phrases like 'wizard sleeve.' I was rolling around on the floor (...( read more)

Jagshemash! It's nice! High five! Sasha Baron Cohen should never have made Bruno, this is easily his best character.
Critic Reviews
In an era of stale, formulaic comedies, this uproarious and ribald faux documentary is like a hit of pure oxygen. full review
It's so inventive, so rich with comic moments, so outrageous, so shocking and unexpected, and so willing to be offensive that it consistently leaves viewers off balance -- and howling. This is a film ... full review
Expect to laugh uproariously; expect to choke back horror and revulsion, often at yourself. full review
Cohen's dauntless refusal to break character, even in the most uncomfortable situations, is amazing to behold. The picture is often gaspingly hilarious. full review
Borat may be dangerous to abdominal health; there must be a limit to how many convulsions a belly can take without trauma. full review
Conceptually brilliant and fearlessly executed, it rewrites the rules of screen comedy, presenting something never before seen on film: a gene-splice of Andy Kaufman's high-wire character humor and ca... full review
[Borat] is equipped, like an F-15 Eagle, to engage multiple targets at once. full review
Borat will make you laugh till it hurts, and you'll still beg for more. full review
Borat is an astonishingly entertaining picture, and it's a testament to Cohen's gifts that he can pull off a feat as extravagant and as fully realized as this one is. full review

March 1, 2008The funniest film I have seen so far this year. A vast improvement on Ali G in da house. Some seens in this film do remind you of the comedy series The Office, ( as in, oh no what if that was me! cringe worthy stuff). People who are fans of Sacha Baron Cohen will love this, people don't still should find it entertaining.

September 3, 2007this film is good, here is some quotes form the movie
Borat is a character on Da Ali G Show.
Making conversation at a formal lunch
Cheering on a team at the Henley Regatta
She must be tight, like a man’s anus
But if she cheat on me, I will crush her
Last night, me and my wife, we have sex
Trying to convince an elderly woman to vote for James Broadwater for U.S. Congress
Can I put a camera in the lady toilet
Repeated many times during interviews
Yes, I have been in a movie Dirty Jew. I play the one who eh… the hero, the one who shot him
Why Not?
i like sex.
May I ask you are a man who does with another man?
You think maybe Blair is a man who take off his clothes and let his khram go hard and put in a man’s bottom?
