MCT:August 3, 2008After all the hype has passed about this movie while re-watching it, you can still laugh at some stuff, but you have to wonder why so many people raved over it in the first place. After all, its a bit of silly fun which deserves nothing move than the above rating.

MCT:August 1, 2008a great film. the story: journalist Borat Sagdiyev leaves his native Kazakhstan to travel to America to make a documentary. as he zigzags across the nation, Borat meets real people in real situations with hysterical consequences. his backward behavior generates strong reactions around him, exposing prejudices and hypocrisies in American culture. in some cases, Borat's interview subjects embrace his outrageous views on race and sex by agreeing with him, while others attempt to offer a patriotic lesson in Western values. has to be one the most funniest films of 2006 and i have ever seen. as this film was rated 15, i think that it should of been an 18 because it has racist comments in it. Sacha Baron Cohen's role as Borat was amazing. no one could of done it better than him. they say that this film shocked both sides of the Atlantic, well that it 100% true.

A terrific look at the severe problem of racism in America, however, it wasn't as funny as they made it out to be. It was more disturbing than anything.

MCT:July 28, 2008Funniest thing I've seen since Little Miss Sunshine - was put off for years by the hype, my partner couldn't watch it because of the "cringe" moments that were a little embarassing. Still laughing about the naked... rubber... chase

adult comedy, with a good story and you feel slightly appealing that the inspiration about chasing dreams and being different.

MCT:July 20, 2008BORAT (2006)
Directed by Larry Charles
Starring Sacha Baron Cohen, Ken Davitian, Pamela Anderson«Borat: My country send me to United States to make movie-film. Please, come and see my film. If it not success, I will be execute.»
A story of a Journalist called Borat Sagdiyev, who left his native country Kazakhstan in order to travel to America & to make a documentary about American traditions and types of leaving, so he can help in improving the living and culture in Kazakhstan. On his way he met a lot of different people and learned what the real America is like and what is the most important thing about it. He uses race and sexual abuse where he gets a chance to speak and that's what makes this film so amazingly hilarious.
Borat is a kind of film that you can enjoy wherever you get affected by it or not. It is a documentary of a man called Borat, who goes to America to bring their traditions back to his native country and to produce a documentary in order to make Kazakhstan a glorious country. Yes it's not a real documentary, but the people who were filmed during it didn't knew about that, so we get to see their actual reactions and the things they would do in real life. And that's why this film is so good. It also has a lot of black humor and racial jokes which are really hard not to laugh at. People criticize this film for being so racially abusive but let's not forget that it's only a comedy film, and you shouldn't take a comedy film that serious. So don't get all wacky about it and just take it as a joke. Larry Charles probably thought that many people will hate it, but he didn't bother about this because he knew that all the true comedy fans will enjoy it. So, the result turned out to be very positive and lucky for Larry it received much more praise than he expected. A really great idea and an interesting storyline which is entertaining enough to make us all enjoy it.
The acting was great; Sacha Baron Cohen's performance was phenomenal and he deserved an award for it. The guy is so good at this role, that you cannot stop laughing at his jokes and the way he acts. The fact that he went on to do a lot of interviews and that he made numerous appearances on TV after the film proves that he indeed became famous for his role in this film. All the scenes were funny even the disturbing ones. The whole film was built on one character-Borat and he made the viewer understand that. Without him this would be a completely different movie.
There were not many special effects, but this film showed people's actual reactions on everything Borat did or said to them and that worked out well. Documentaries don't need that many special effects so only a few were used in this film. Also many scenes have to be done several times due to people complaining about the way they been treated and it looked like a hard job which was repaid with such a massive popularity of this movie among the audience. This film deserves to be called one of the best comedy films of 20th century. And Sacha Baron Cohen is one of the best comedy actors of his decade.
Overall I loved this movie, even though I am still concerned that this film would have worked out much better as a TV show, which could have made it more popular, but because this film turned out to be such a success it is totally fine the way it is. So, Borat is a great entertainment and it's a film that you can always enjoy, wherever you will get offended by it or not.

One of the funniest movies of all time. Biting social commentary, offensive humor and two naked Eastern European men wrestling. All excellent ingredients for an excellent movie. Baron Cohen, Davitian and the filming crew have balls of steel with the risks they took. High fiiive!

Borat is hilarious, simple as really but only one time round. I tried to watch it again and failed to laugh. Providing you haven't seen it before, please watch.
-
MCT:July 13, 2008Sketches clearly work better and the satirizing of Americans and American values doesn't quite make up for the portrayal of Kazakhs and Muslims as backward, which unfortunately, is not totally clear to all people.

When I finally saw this movie it was so crowded I had to sit on the floor in the fron of the theater.

Sacha Baron Cohen has managed to create a unique comical character that is believable and whats more downright stupid...this is a lot of fun although not for all tastes
-
MCT:July 7, 2008Quoting my friend Nuno, who, in a nutshell, sums it up pretty good, "Absurd, outrageous, gross, disturbing, insightful yet sometimes funny." To that I add, anti-semitism, beligerant, that is encouraging, homophobia, anti-Southern, hell, just about anti damn near everything. If that was the point of this, they succeeded big time! It was mostly a waste of time.

Hands down, the funniest movie of 2006, or perhaps of recent years. Sacha Coen's loopy Kazikstani reporter and his aide go to the US to learn about America, but in doing so, cause a culture clash with people who don't seem to realize they're being suckered by a comedian.

This is crude but you can not help laughing. The nude wrestling scene will haunt you. Somethings truly are obscene!!!!
-
MCT:July 6, 2008The TV show (Da Ali G Show) is MUCH better. This movie should've focused more on Borat's interactions with people instead of that moronic Pamela Anderson subplot, which I found to be incredibly mindless and unnecessary.

MCT:July 5, 2008I'm giving this film one star due only to there being a few funny parts in it and those few funny scenes weren't hilarious though. I don't care for the Ali G character nor did I care for his role in Talladega Nights with Will Ferrell. The only thing that made scenes that had him in them funny in Talladega Nights were the ones that had Will in them. I also didn't care for his role in this film either. I don't find Sacha to be a good actor. All he does is play stupid characters and there is no real acting ability shown in his films. The only thing he can do to try and make you laugh is either be stupid or try and do something gross or very gay. I don't know about other people but I personally don't find seeing Sacha role around nude with another guy or watching him kiss other guys funny at all. Maybe he is going for the WTF? factor but either way it isn't funny. He did have a couple of funny parts but in a two hour movie a couple of parts doesn't add up to much. I don't know what to say about the other acting jobs in this film...if you wanna call that acting. Everyone seems to love this film and it seemed stupid to me but I thought I'd check it out. Well, I was right...it is very stupid and a pointless waste of two hours of your time. That is unless you want to watch stupidity, bad acting, a crappy storyline and homosexuality. If you like those things then go right ahead and see this film...you'll love it.

Ok....This movie was funny but some extremely disturbing scenes made it quite uncomfortable to watch!

I dont really like this guy..He has a sick sense of humor and likes to make out with his sister...But other then that if you are bored watch this movie..It might make you laugh..

The entire watching, I was waiting for it to become funny since everyone loves this movie. Finally, the credits started to roll. I fast forwarded through them to see if there was a joke afterwards, but alas, foiled again.
Now, after telling that to people, I always get the "well you just didn't get it" or "you must be republican".
A - Nope, not republican.
B - It IS possible to get something entirely and not find it funny. I understood everything just fine (honestly, what's to understand with a guy walking around in his underwear?) and I still didn't find it funny. Thing is, is that not only is that not my type of movie, its also just not a very good one. I understand and don't even give a crap if you like this, but how its praised so highly confuses me. Its like watching an extended episode of "Trigger Happy TV" only more offensive. People trying to be annoying and get a rise out of people is, well, annoying.
Some people had interesting reactions though, and that's about it. -

The 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.

this 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?
