Advantages: Some really funny unscripted parts
Disadvantages: Too short a film, not for the faint hearted!

...was fantastic. The story follows Borat Sagdiyev, Sacha Baron Cohen's most recent creation, from his own country of Kazakhstan on his journey to America. The basic storyline is that Borat has been sent with his producer to make a documentary on America. While there he discovers Pamela Anderson on TV and travels across the country to California so he can find her. To be honest this isn't just the basic storyline, it's about as complex as it gets. ...

Advantages: some squirmily uncomfortable funny bits
Disadvantages: overall, Not funny

after all the hype. I watched this film....and wasted 80mins of my life! I found it to be one of the worst I had ever seen. admittedly, a few scenes are funny, more childhood, playground humour than anything, in an embarrassing kinda way. but generally I felt it was a waste of money and time. Sacha Cohen genuinly is a talented and funny guy....but not in this film. this is definately not a good vehicle for his arts or comic writing skills. I advise ... Read review

Advantages: You will laugh all the way through
Disadvantages: May offend those of a Politically Correct nature

As soon as I had watched this at the cinema I knew this was a must-buy upon DVD release - so here we are. *I am reviewing the film only not the DVD as a whole. Borat is a character from the man who also gave us Ali G (Sacha Baron Cohen) and as such you should expect to be shocked by what he says and seems to get away with, though there are many occasions in the film where a quick exit is the order of the day! It is filmed in a mock documentary ... Read review

Advantages: You could use the DVD as a coatser
Disadvantages: Even as a coaster it would dissappoint

...isn't. I used to watch Borat fot the unscripted interviews, the things he''d say to people was hilarious, but here they are just plain boring. Its a cash in, and nothing else. Trying to make as much money as possible with mininium effort. Don't get me wrong there are some laugh out loud moments, but it just isn't worth the money, not when these moments can be watched on youtube. Its a very poor attempt at a film and a poor excuse for one. A ... Read review

Advantages: hilarious!
Disadvantages: Some of the jokes are a bit risky

Absolutely hilarious. One of the best films of 2007. Sacha Baron Cohen is a brilliant actor, and plays the role extremely well. The film is about Borat's trip to America, in which he learns about the way of life there in 'the west' and the cultures etc, and films a documentary of his findings for all his fellow citizens in his home town of kazakhstan. We see him and his companion/documentary producer, Azamat travel through America, with many funny ... Read review
