Even John Kerry likes it! Sometime in early 2005, a mustachioed Kazakh journalist known as Borat Sagdiyev slipped into America with the intention of making a documentary for the alleged good of his Central Asian nation. Many months later, the funny bruised fruits of his labor, “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan,” are poised to hit the collective American conscience with a juicy splat. The Minutemen, those self-anointed guardians of American sovereignty, were watching the wrong border.
Among movies currently in theaters, "Borat" is tied for the highest rating (8.5) on cin-o-matic. Here are the top reviews: E! Cohen has updated the art of racial satire for a new, troubled world, and Borat is its king.
Rolling Stone ...a mind-blowing comedy classic in the making...
Entertainment Weekly ...scandalously rude and funny...
Chicago Tribune ...a provocative, riotous and multidirectionally offensive comedy...
New York Post Propelled by Sacha Baron Cohen's genius performance, this proudly offensive mock documentary is a blast of fresh, rude air.
New York Times The brilliance of Borat is that its comedy is as pitiless as its social satire, and as brainy.
LA Weekly Wherever Borat goes, Cohen implodes notions of political correctness and leaves you both hurting from laughter and marveling at the fact that he managed to get the movie in the can without getting himself lynched.
