Is nice! I can only echo the widespread sentiment that there should've been more of the revealing satire along the lines of the rodeo scene and the scene with the frat boys, and a little less of the obviously scripted stuff. However, some of the scripted/unscripted parts were mixed together so well that it was hard to tell which was which sometimes. Idiots getting what's coming to them, music by Goran Bregovic, nude wrestling... great success!

I thought it could have gone further with the social satire... often it would go pretty far but then retreat to the easy dick joke. However, it was screamingly funny throughout most of it. I really wish was there more unscripted, non-actor stuff in it.

SBC at his best. The production's a bit half-assed (e.g. the soundtrack is all Goran Bregovic pieces nicked from Kusturica movies) but other than that, this is some incredibly funny stuff. Hebrew speakers will note that all of Borat's "kazakh" dialogue is actual intelligible hebrew, even the swear words.

Borat is absolutely hilarious. His character is so over the top, but yet so believable. The people he encounters think he's a real person and, sometimes, don't know how to react. He attacks the insecurities of our culture by attacking them head on and showing us what we look like. It's simple, yet effective. It's ingenious. Not only is Borat a smart film, it's also absolutely hilarious. It's something that everyone should experience at least once.

One of the funniest movies I've ever seen and is what got me into Da Ali G Show, which is one of the funniest things ever put on tv. The are the big funny things that everybody talks about, but there are many subtly funny moments that I think a lot of people over look, my personal favorite being after he is abandoned and walking down road in the middle of nowhere and he throws his bag down.The chicken is in the bag and you hear a slight squak. It gets me every time.

I was laughing out loud form beginning to end. It's amazing that this movie was made, given some of the dialogue and things the cast and crew went through just to make people laugh and think about American culture. The scripted stuff isn't nearly as funny or thought-provoking as all of the real-life interactions Cohen and company get from real people. It has and will definitely offend some people, but I'm white, so what do I know? Definitely worth watching though, particularly for Cohen.

The Borat/Azamat wrestling match is perhaps the hardest I have ever laughed during a movie. For that alone, as well as numerous other hysterical jokes (the bear!), this is a worthy film. A big part of what makes it great isn't funny at all, however, as the movie really is a cultural study -- just not in the way it says it is. What the movie needs is more interviews and documentary stuff, because the stagey bits come off awkward and forced, and weigh down the picture. Still, Cohen is priceless.

A comedy that completely relies upon the viewer being shocked in order to invoke anything resembling humor, if you aren't shocked, this is simply boring, offensive, and stupid all at the same time. The only saving grace is the scene with Pamela Anderson, but even that is hard to watch.

Ingested as a series of skits this is often hilariously funny, but as a feature length experience it becomes a nauseating ordeal. The Borat segments were the funniest stuff on Ali G, not only that but his attempts to fit in were pitiable and almost endearing. That sense is lost in this US setting as he ramps up the outrageousness to beat past the patronising tolerance he encounters. A tighter focus on more deserving targets would have made this brilliantly incisive AND funny. Missed opportunity.

I'm no fan of Sacha Cohen, but this movie has several genuine funny moments to it. Granted, they're all improvised, and the scripted moments focusing just on Borat are mostly throw-aways. Still, the reactions of people to Kazakh's #1 reporter are hilarious.

Some initially funny outrageousness but mostly just painfully awkward and unfunny. I don't know what the intentions were but I found the whole setup for the comedy to be smug and contrived and destructive in many cases. The "satire" just seems like a cheap excuse to make crude & empty gags on soft targets mostly. I don't want to sound like a total grinch but I just found this profoundly uncomfortable and not in a clever satirical way.

I found the movie to be insanely hilarious, but if I haven't seen most of the jokes already, the movie would have been even funnier.
The only problem is that a lot of the joke were outrageous funny, not funny funny. But there are still a lot of very smart jokes, and even the stupid hotel fight scene leads up to a good joke.
Overall, 1 hour of solid non stop laughing - if that's what you are looking for, you are going to enjoy the movie immensely.

On the one side there are some genuinely hilarious parts in the film (such as the weatherman). On the other side there are parts where Cohen behaves in a completely ridiculous fashion and people react exactly as you would expect, with either shock or disgust (such as Borat running around naked). Other parts are just so awkward to watch and you feel awful for the people in them (the frat boys). In the end some of it is funny but more of it is painful to watch.

Neither the film "Borat" nor Sacha Baron Cohen should be pilloried for inspiring unrelenting amounts of Borat-related catchphrases in 2006, but I'm still sore about it... real sore, Mister! Aside from being a discount warehouse of catchphrases, "Borat" was subversive and hysterical. Critics have lamented that the very audiences it satirized (the young and/or ignorant) seemed to enjoy it the most, but the part of me that is a cruel and horrible bitch finds that fact rather hilarious.

A very funny film that also exposes the very real side of racism, sexism, and -- on the other extreme end of the spectrum -- evangelical religion. Baron Cohen turns in a great performance that's both hilarious and endearing; when he can make you care this much for the anti-semitic pervert, while still choking you with laughter, it's something special.

An incredibly sharp, daring, shocking, smart and above-all else groundbreaking mockumentary/comedy. As someone with an interest in politics and international relations, this film is absolutely a razor-sharp satire of the world. Similar to Blazing Saddles, this movie also attempts to point out how ridiculous racism is by strawmanning it to death while we laugh. An absolutely amazing movie that will be looked at 20 years from now like how Blazing Saddles is today.

Some of it's funny, a lot of it is embarrasing and all of it is annoying. I didn't watch the whole thing, but.. It's all pretty much the same. Borat goes about making an ass of himself and those around him. I might've liked it more if I didn't think Sacha Baron Cohen was so INCREDIBLY annoying. I hate the guy. Few good laughs, recommended if you're into.. lame embarassing humor.

Pretty amusing but it's really just one long skit. Sasha Cohen is the real life equivalent of an internet troll getting real people to react with racism, arrogance, or idiocy. He's pretty successful at what he does and I admit I laughed more times than not. The only reason why it doesn't rank higher is because some of it is obviously staged.

It sounded promising, and some wonderful reviews and great PR opportunities definitely helped. But when it came to crunch time, this film didn't perform. I did laugh a bit, but jokes got old quickly, some just weren't funny. Perhaps what seemed weird was that he had a lot of people agree with him and his point of view, which became almost too convenient, although now we've found that many were paid to act that way. All in all, wait for it on DVD.

While the people of Kazakhstan may be unsettled with how they are portrayed in a fictional form to the world, it's more unnerving to know that the world is seeing REAL people in the United States in an even more unfavorable light.

The sheer excruciating nature of watching Borat felt a lot more justified by his old TV segments, where the humour comes more from people's ready acceptance of ignorant, wildly inappropriate behaviour simply because it comes from a man posing as a Second World journalist.
