Personally, I like "the Ali G show" better than any sort of movie, as I lose interest in movies these days and have to watch a movie up to five times to see all of it. All the low brow antics are here on display, and some that even surprised me. I particulary thought the overall concept of a traveler interviewing people is brilliant. It is a film that probably would offend a lot of people. Cant give any spoilers as that would ruin it for you. Hopefully, in the future, we can have more stuff for these great minds. Id still recommend "the Ali G" show for exposure to this comic first. It might help prepare you for the irreverent comedy. Highlites include: asking an apparently real gun shop owner which kind of guns are best to kill jews. He laughs in a very sinister way that has to be seen. Also it does take laughs at southern people in general and the middle east. Not much at all offends me, but Id assume this type of film would offend most anyone. Which is why i like it so much.Read full review
Borat Borat is a genious creation from the brilliant Sascha Baron Cohen. This movie is full of rude, crude humour, foul language, ignorant behaviour, innapropriate scenes and tons of male nudity. If any of these things offend you turn away now... or pull your head out and enjoy this movie for what it is... hilarious. Although there were a couple scenes even I had trouble watching this movie is almost 100% hilarious the whole time, there are certain scenes that will have you laughing for many minutes... VERY NICE. Final Verdict: 4/5 Worth buying?: Heck yes... you buy for fun laughy time with friends VERY NICE
Borat is, at times, ridiculously funny. There are some lulls in the action, some things that make the viewer very uncomfortable, and some things that are just plain wrong (e.g. male nude wrestling), but all in all the movie is a wonderful distraction from everyday life. I'm sure you all know the premise: Borat is a Khazikstani journalist sent to the U.S. to bring back the American way of life for his people. In the process, he gets a restraining order from Pamela Anderson, learns to dress from some homeys, nearly gets lynched for singing the wrong anthem at a rodeo, and shows off his package at every instance possible. If you've seen the television show, then you'll know Borat is a bit hard on the Jews. And women. Well, he manages to piss off most uptight people, regardless of gender or religious view, so I guess I don't need to point that out. Just be warned: he doesn't pull punches, so if you're easily offended by something - anything at all - you may wish to reconsider viewing this film. If you're not uptight and stuck on yourself, this film is great fun. It's refreshing to be able to laugh at things you're not normally allowed to laugh at in this overly PC touchy-feely-fest we call a country. Borat may take things a little far, but that's half the fun, wondering if he's going to cross some invisible line into extreme bad taste (most of the movie is in moderate bad taste). Highly recommended!Read full review
Borat is an incredibly funny movie. It's one of those movies you just have to own. This movie truly mocks the American culture, pointing out the funny culture America has grown to develope. This movie makes you want to laugh in a gross way. There is no other reaction you could have. Some of the scenes are unbelievable. I cannot believe somone could be like this. I would love to tell you all of the things that make this movie great, but that would spoil the movie for you. Hay, I'm Universalbargain3317, thanks for stopping by my corner of Ebay.
To call Borat Sagdiyev "clueless" is a grand understatement. Sacha Baron-Cohen's fictional Kazakh journalist, Borat, is a hillbilly from a remote, busted-down Soviet-Era backwater town, making his way around the USA, with an armload of ridiculous superstitions and misinformation (and a jar of gypsy tears "for protection"). He lays out his racist, sexist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic misconceptions for anybody unfortunate enough to be bushwhacked by him., and the results are unfathomably hilarious. Along with furry, 5'2", 300-pound producer Azamat Bagatov (Ken Davitian), they embark on a journey to find Borat's love interest, Pamela Anderson Lee (Borat's Baywatch LOVE), and find all sorts of adventures in American culture along the way. His appearance at a rodeo in Roanoke, Virginia, doesn't end well, to say the least. Neither do his visits to a humor coach, social-etiquette experts, an antique store, an RV full of South Carolina frat boys, a suburban-Midwest yard sale, a session with former Congressman Bob Barr., and a stop in a rural ghetto housing project where he seeks lessons on "being down". Through it all, Borat's guileless naiveté unleashes on 100% unsuspecting victims who never realized their run-ins with "Borat" were staged for a movie. Therein, lies the pulsing heart of the true genius. Cohen, as Borat, is passing himself off as a Russian Immigrant trying to learn American Culture., and is catching people's reactions, uncomfortable patience, or lack thereof on film. Real people who weren't prepared or asked. (This also has resulted in over 200 lawsuits filed against Cohen from many people who now realize they were duped, and also spurned over 100 calls to local Police Departments across the USA., from people offended by "Borat" in real life - this is supplied in the "Special Features" on the DVD. Even when the Police repeatedly arrive., ciy-after-city, state-after-state., Cohen never leaves character., and therein captures the Police's candid handlings hilariously too !!). Borat goes on in the film., pursuing California to marry "PAH-Mella" (Pamela Anderson)., stopping to ask a gun dealer about "the best gun to shoot a Jew", debating with poker-faced feminists about the size of women's brains, ("like squirrel"), asking his driving instructor if he can "Make Sexy-Time" with a woman in a nearby car. And then there's a candid - RAW - naked fight between Borat and Azamat., in reality camera-action-style through a luxurious hotel lobby and Corporate Conference Hall packed with unsuspecting executives !! Hell, he's funny enough even when he's not saying anything, with his gangly, clumsy body language, ill-fitting suit (which was reportedly not ever cleaned during the making of the movie), bushy moustache, and toothy grin. Borat tracks down Pamela Anderson at a Califonia autograph-signing., where even she hasn't been informed of the dupe. Borat asks her to marry him, to which she refuses, (awkwardly looking for Security to remove him)., and he attacks her. Trying to bag her into a potato-like sack. Result: a subsequent real-life melee., leaving Pam Anderson running through parking lot to flee and Police arresting "Borat". (Later, let in on the gag that "It's Just A Movie Stunt", Cohen was released and Pam Anderson even enjoyed the laugh.) The fact that this film was immediately banned in the actual country of Kazakhstan almost right away., fuels the hilarity flame even more. "BORAT" = 5 Stars !! Cohen = GENIUSRead full review
