Editorial Reviews:
|
Sacha Baron Cohen brings his Kazakh journalist character Borat Sagdiyev to the big screen for the first time. Leaving his native Kazakhstan, Borat travels to America to make a documentary. As he zigzags across the nation, Borat meets real people in real situations with hysterical consequences. His backwards behavior generates strong reactions around him exposing prejudices and hypocrisies in American culture.

Summary: Couple of laughs, mostly tedious
Comment: I don't understand the national fascination with this. A few toilet jokes are funny, but the gross-out humor grows wearisome, as does the accent. Don't expect much and you won't be too disappointed.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not A Bad Movie
Comment: This Was A Really Funny Movie To Me. The Thing That's Stupid About This Movie Is? Borat Travled From Kazakhstan To New York For Interview's, Then He Saw A Show That Had A Girl Named CJ AKA ''Pamela Anderson'' So He Traveled From New York All The Way To California Just To See A Porn Star.
That Really Killed The Comedy Routein, But It Was Pretty Funny. The Most Disgusting Scene Was When Borat Was Fighting His Friend Totally Naked. UGH, I All Most Puked, Even Though That Was A Real Funny Scene, But Still To Much.
This Wasn't A Bad Movie Though. The Reason I Gave This Movie 4 Star's Was Because It Was To Much For 1 Movie. I Like Comedy, But This Was Plain To Much. This Was A Great Movie.

Summary: Nothing new, fresh, just played out toilet humor....flush
Comment: This movie is different, but it's not funny. It's just stupid. I think comedians try so hard to be funny and do something different that they get out of touch with what's really funny. Listen, people will still laugh at good old fashion stuff....we're not zombies....we don't need shocking stupidity to make us laugh. Borat may be an original idea, but ends ubruptly after awkward scenes and oddities that made me realize i was just staring at the screen...no shocked, not laughing....just bored. Here's another guy trying to break onto the scene with something different...two years later he's had the same fate as all those who go this route...it does not last. Forgetable...in every way.

Summary: I wasn't offended
Comment: But I was BORED. Not impressed at all. I think Cohen is actually very funny and inventive - I also think he could have done much better than this. Don't worry, I "got it", just fine - I need nothing explained to me. But in the end it was just . . . bad. The only thing I laughed at was the sound the chicken made when Borat threw his satchel to the ground in frustration. Seriously, that was the ONLY time I laughed.

Summary: The Anti-Comedy
Comment: Sacha Baron Cohen can be a talented performer, but "Borat" is 82 minutes of sheer hell masquerading as a satiric "mockumentary." The results are too vulgar and calculated to be funny. Since many critics admire this film, it's simply a matter of taste. However, do not confuse "Borat" with any form of comic genius.
