One of the funniest films of all time. It's completely outrageous and uncomfortable but almost every scene is absolutely hilarious. Very unique brand of comedy

Overrated, not worth watching

It was amateurish and immature - more like a high school project than an actual movie. I laugh louder at your average Budweiser commercial than I laughed at 60 minutes of Borat. It was so unfunny and bad that I just got tired of it and closed the player - just stopped. I do not know if it was top 10 worst movie material, but it was close.

Combine that with the fact that my expectations were high, since everyone was raving about how hilarious it was - I heard many people saying things like "funniest movie of all time". To me, it was so unfunny, I do not even understand how someone could think it was funny. Possibly, I laughed out loud once, and chuckled a couple times, but mostly, I just sat there waiting for it to get funny instead of stupid.

Again, for some reason, people vote for a "trendy" movie that was really, really bad.

There are funny and very funny parts, but If you are a person with a reasonable amount of empathy it's hard not to pity and have a hard time seeing how they treat some of the people "forced" to be involved in this...

A funny movie but most of the laughs were caused by disbelief of some of the lengths gone to get them. There's lots of crude humor here including a fight between Borat and another naked man that ends up going very public. There is also a scene with some drunk frat boys that evolves into something I believe the film makers may have not even considered. Nothing in "Borat" really feels very cinematic. Many will find this extremely offensive and definitely not politically correct. Most of the laughs are uncomfortable ones.

I went into this movie with high hopes having been a fan of _Da Ali G Show_ for several years now, including the Borat sketches. But I was a little disappointed when this movie showed a few of the same shortcomings as _Ali G in Da House_--it is very difficult to make a full length film out of an 8 minute sketch(see _Superstar_ or most of the other SNL attempts at feature films) Don't get me wrong, this movie is entertaining and a riot at points. I especially liked his interaction with the gang on the streets of Atlanta and his subsequent attempt to check in to the hotel where he calls the receptionist "vanilla face". The scenes where he learns about etiquette and then goes to a formal southern dinner were a complete retread of bits from the TV show, kind of a same but different approach. Then the end. It was horrible. It was like they had more planned and ran out of money so the movie ended in the middle of nothing. It needed a lot more.

Annoying, stupid film! I can't understand its phenomenon. It just should be forbidden. Jokes of Jews? Racism, hatred, etc etc. Terrible!

I hadn't seen the original when the second came out. I assumed it wasn't going to hold up in 2020 but honestly it did somehow. As long as you recognize that he's always trying to spoof America, it's still a funny and enjoyable film. Now onto the controversy filled subsequent moviefilm!

3 Thoughts After Re-Watching ‘Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan’:

1. Still equally uncomfortable and absolutely hysterical to this day.

2. The scene — THAT one — is still absolutely nauseating to this day.

3. SO excited for the sequel this month! But the bar has been set pretty damn high.

Hugely successful at the time, Borat still holds up today as a lot of the things being mocked still apply 15 years later, maybe even more so. It had a huge cultural impact, how many times have you heard someone in a generically Slavic accent say “it’s nice, I like”? Even people that have never seen the movie attempt to use that catchphrase. Borat was brilliant in that it pushed the bounds of what was acceptable, by going after things that are unacceptable. Racism, sexism, classism, anti-semitism, and more - they’re all here and all being exposed for the ridiculousness that they are.

"Offensive in the funniest possible way."

Guerilla improv often has a very short shelf life, but this one's still funny even after you know where it's going. In Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen has a character that's perfect for dragging hilarious material out of his unsuspecting subjects: naïve and disarming on the surface, vulgar and profane beneath.

He gets some really ripe material from the act this time around, with the lowlights of his American tour including a homophobic cowboy, a troupe of bigoted etiquette experts and an RV full of misogynist frat boys. The short, storyline-advancing scenes in between each unscripted segment are generally thin and bland, but Cohen's ad-libbed torments of the unprepared masses are clearly the movie's meat and potatoes and it wisely never strays far from that core. Brightly orchestrated, hilarious anarchy with a sharp edge and no sense of self-control.

Breaching experiment: the movie.
This was such a much needed mirror to the Western (and particularly American) society.
There are still so many bits in this movie that are still every bit as funny, shocking and relevant today as they were in 2006 (e.g. the rhodeo champion, the college students, the dinner scene).
Having said that, a few minor scenes feel like exces, and they don’t really serve a point.
Like, what was the point of the scene with the feminists?
There’s no commentary in it, and I already know that the main character is a sexist and a homophobe.
But all in all, this is a great film.

8/10

Okay movie, but could've used some more polish

I think I was too tolerant on the rating

What kind of homo movie is this:joy::gun::joy::gun:
