25 Ratings: 2.9

Comedy movie directed by Larry Charles

It takes a certain kind of comic genius to create a character who is, to quote the classic Sondheim lyric, appealing and appalling. But be forewarned: Borat is not "something for everyone." It arrives as advertised as one of the most outrageous, … see full wiki

It is not surprising the huge controversy aroused as some of the people tricked into the 'documentary' have already sued … more

Sacha Baron Cohen is absolutely amazing. He consistently stays in character and is probably one of the funniest men we have in movies today, The movie is so full of surprises and as funny as they are the first time, they are that much funnier the … more
