Borat...junk food 4 the mind. And NO, its not PC.
This is a dick flick for certain. Borat is relentless with its silly and crude nature; at one point you will witness unattractive, obese, naked people wrestling. Not to mention homophobic, racist, anti-semitic, sexist comments & gestures; you name it Borat finds a way to either make his audience laugh, or highly offend them. The word is NO GO, this movie is like trans fat & junk food for the mind & body.
The Borat character is a popular TV journalist from Kazakhstan traveling to America to film a documentary in hopes of discovering what makes the USA so wonderful. This film is so NOT politically correct, but every once in a while, its healthy to let ones hair down, and just laugh a little. If anything, millions who had never heard of Kazakhstan, may now be open to learning more about this Eastern European country. Borat is insensitive and controversial, played by British comedian, Sacha Baron Cohen, creator of the unscripted & unstaged Ali G Show, and is on a quest at any cost to send his audience into hysterics. Borat's frequent derogatory portrayal is certainly not indicative of most Kazakhstanis, he is self deprecating, in addition to generously poking fun at just about everyone he encounters, most notably naive & uninformed Americans, but its all in the spirit of comedy. Sacha Baron Cohen is provocative & often hilarious, if you are able to resist the overrated media hype, save your time & money, and wait for the Borat: Cultural Learnings of America... DVD. (84 minutes, R)

i again beg to differ with your review of Borat. Yes it does consist of crude, lude and rude jokes and behavior however you must understand where Sosha Cohen Borat is coming from. The character in his travels exposes various ignorance and the darkside of americas sub culture. Exposes them and throws it back in their faces. His speech at the rodeo, the edicate dinner, the rodeo the homeboys and the T.V morning show. Even falling in love with Pamela Anderson gives you a perspective of what foreigners see on T.V and how BayWatch became popular. The Jewish jokes though heavy handed were funny and since he is Jewish Jewish comedians have been making fun of their culture for years.
