***1/2 Stars
Borat is one of the most ridiculous things ever created and not just in movies. In its 84 minute running time, actor Sacha Baron Cohen as Borat, gives us more offensive material than most films in history. And yet for some odd reason, it is the funniest film of the year.
Judging from the title, it is clear where this film is heading. It starts with Borat, a Kazakhstan journalist giving us the cultural learning’s of Kazakhstan by telling the world that this country is full of prostitutes, women degrading, and animal cruelty. If you think this material is crossing your threshold, stay clear. For the rest of us, it is a gift from comedic heaven.
Borat moves onto America to experience its rituals. He travels into New York and discovers that Pamela Anderson is his true love. So he moves onto California to find her. He crosses paths with drunken teenagers and rodeo clowns, starts fights with his fat companion because he is pleasuring himself of Pamela, and then moves onto to learn that women are allowed to have sex with who they want. Borat is stunned by this discovery.
Borat has to be seen to believe. The creators of this film are shockingly crude and horribly disgusting, yet excruciatingly hilarious. It is a guarantee that Sacha Baron Cohen will receive death threats for the rest of his days. The actual country of Kazakhstan is shinning this film while many others will call it a piece of genius.
