Outrageous situations occur when a popular reporter (Sacha Baron Cohen) from Kazakhstan comes to the United States to film a documentary.
Part satire, part shockumentary, Borat gets high-fives almost all-around for being offensive in the funniest possible way. Jagshemash!

| 179498 | David Walsh | World Socialist Web Site | Rotten | — | 2021-02-14T16:31:42Z | 2021-02-14 16:31:42 | In the tactics of Cohen, Charles and their collaborators ... there is a level of social insularity, sneering and intellectual sadism that is positively disturbing. |
| 179499 | Richard Crouse | Richard Crouse | Fresh | 4/5 | 2021-01-31T22:32:44Z | 2021-01-31 22:32:44 | Borat is funny, spleen-bursting funny, although you may catch yourself wondering if these are the kind of jokes you should be laughing at. |
| 179500 | Micheal Compton | Bowling Green Daily News | Fresh | — | 2019-11-20T21:03:48Z | 2019-11-20 21:03:48 | It wallows gleefully in its very un-PC humor, but that is part of what makes it work so well. Cohen and director Larry Charles make the unthinkable funny -- and in the process might just get you to think about racism, bigotry and sexism. |
| 179501 | Mattie Lucas | The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) | Fresh | 3.5/4 | 2019-06-06T02:46:28Z | 2019-06-06 02:46:28 | A gut-busting, uncompromising, totally outrageous film that takes the comedy of embarrassment to new, unprecedented levels. |
| 179502 | Joel Siegel | Good Morning America | Fresh | A | 2018-01-05T00:31:48Z | 2018-01-05 00:31:48 | Offensive? Yes, but I haven't laughed this hard since the Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy. |
| 179503 | Nick Pinkerton | Stop Smiling | Fresh | — | 2016-06-08T13:22:40Z | 2016-06-08 13:22:40 | For better or for worse, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is unique, an important movie, a multiplex comedy that doubles as a conceptual art epic. |
| 179504 | Gabe Leibowitz | Film and Felt | Fresh | 65/100 | 2009-09-19T15:28:16Z | 2009-09-19 15:28:16 | Frequently uproarious and occasionally side-splitting -- but it's very hit-or-miss, prone to stretches of unnecessary crudeness and flat one-liners. |
| 179505 | Fernando F. Croce | CinePassion | Fresh | — | 2009-08-28T11:18:34Z | 2009-08-28 11:18:34 | Often functions hilariously as an exposé of squirming American tolerance shading into condescension toward the rest of the world |
| 179506 | Mark Pfeiffer | Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema | Fresh | A | 2009-07-10T18:22:57Z | 2009-07-10 18:22:57 | Borat is the rare comedy that operates without a safety net. Cohen and director Larry Charles' film provides constant laughter and surprises while daring the viewer to be rightfully offended. |
| 179507 | Peter Keough | Boston Phoenix | Fresh | 3/4 | 2009-04-23T03:15:51Z | 2009-04-23 03:15:51 | Although I knew it was dishonest, cynical, and the ultimate in cheap-shot humor, I laughed more at Borat than at any other film this year. So I guess the joke is on me. |
| 179508 | Ed Gonzalez | House Next Door | Fresh | — | 2008-07-16T13:15:27Z | 2008-07-16 13:15:27 | Borat's cultural learning is revealing, even if it doesn't adequately convey how it benefits glorious nation of Kazakhstan. |

| 179511 | Brandon Fibbs | BrandonFibbs.com | Fresh | 7/10 | 2008-02-28T13:43:42Z | 2008-02-28 13:43:42 | America, you got punk'd and the result is horrifying. Borat paints a picture of the American landscape that would induce nightmares were you not laughing so hard. |
| 179512 | David Ansen | Newsweek | Fresh | — | 2007-11-01T03:15:21Z | 2007-11-01 03:15:21 | The backlash just proves how deep a nerve the faux Kazakh journalist has hit. |

| 179514 | Joe Lozito | Big Picture Big Sound | Fresh | 3.5/4 | 2007-07-14T03:42:10Z | 2007-07-14 03:42:10 | By the end, you're eager to wrap things up. Along the way, though, Borat is a helluva ride. |
| 179515 | Felix Gonzalez Jr. | DVD Review | Fresh | — | 2007-07-10T22:05:46Z | 2007-07-10 22:05:46 | Like great theatre, Borat holds up a mirror to its obliviously intolerant audience ... that serves as a shocking, but entertaining wake-up call. |
| 179516 | Jason Gorber | Film Scouts | Fresh | A | 2007-06-21T15:55:07Z | 2007-06-21 15:55:07 | There is little that is subtle about the Borat film - it's a "make sex on your face" kind of experience, an onslaught of Jew, Gay, "foreign", Baptist and Texan jokes. It's also very, very funny. |
| 179517 | Brian Tallerico | UGO | Fresh | — | 2007-03-24T12:07:44Z | 2007-03-24 12:07:44 | The genius of Borat is all in Sacha Baron Cohen's daring, edgy, unrestrained performance. |

| 179520 | Philip Martin | Arkansas Democrat-Gazette | Rotten | 82/100 | 2007-03-06T04:58:01Z | 2007-03-06 04:58:01 | ... contrary to what the cynical profess, it is possible to cheat an honest man. It's certainly easier to fool the naive and the innocent than your average wised-up consumer of pop culture. |
| 179521 | Jean-François Vandeuren | Panorama | Fresh | 8/10 | 2007-02-26T08:03:09Z | 2007-02-26 08:03:09 | En se donnant lui-même carte blanche, Cohen conféra une étonnante crédibilité à un personnage qui, en soi, n'en a absolument aucune. |

| 179523 | Philip French | Observer (UK) | Fresh | — | 2007-01-20T04:59:39Z | 2007-01-20 04:59:39 | Spasmodically funny. |

| 179525 | Alan Dale | Blogcritics.org | Fresh | — | 2007-01-05T08:23:24Z | 2007-01-05 08:23:24 | It's theatrical genius: Cohen has devised a split-level act in which being hooked off the stage by his in-the-movie audience makes for success with his at-the-movie audience. |
| 179526 | Russell Baillie | New Zealand Herald | Fresh | 5/5 | 2006-12-30T05:05:10Z | 2006-12-30 05:05:10 | There's something about Baron Cohen's fervent and frankly Oscar-worthy performance that makes you wonder if somewhere up there, Peter Sellers is enjoying a good chuckle at his heir apparent. |
| 179527 | Kam Williams | Upstage Magazine | Fresh | 4/4 | 2006-12-28T19:58:06Z | 2006-12-28 19:58:06 | Horrifying, vulgar and exploitative, yet simultaneously inspired, brilliant, convulsively hilarious, and easily the funniest film of the year. |
| 179528 | Michael A. Smith | Nolan's Pop Culture Review | Fresh | 4/4 | 2006-12-13T22:02:27Z | 2006-12-13 22:02:27 | That Cohen never breaks character, no matter the situation, is a true testament to his comic genius. He and director Larry Charles ("Curb Your Enthusiasm") have created the funniest film since "Something About Mary," and believe me, that's a rave review. |
| 179529 | Leo Goldsmith | Reverse Shot | Fresh | — | 2006-12-08T15:07:51Z | 2006-12-08 15:07:51 | A force of political provocation less on the level of the cuddly Archie Bunker and more on that of Pasolini's libertines in Salò and Pink Flamingos' "filthiest people alive." |

| 179533 | Lewis Beale | Film Journal International | Rotten | — | 2006-12-01T06:56:12Z | 2006-12-01 06:56:12 | After a while, the gaggle of idiots, creeps and stuffed shirts Borat comes in contact with becomes repetitive. |

That is the film's weakness and why it is a quick hit with no lasting value. |

Unfortunately, irreverence does not always equate to quality humor. |
| 179572 | Jeanne Kaplan | Kaplan vs. Kaplan | Fresh | — | 2006-11-06T13:28:33Z | 2006-11-06 13:28:33 | Most of this film is designed to entertain tall 6-year-olds, my darling husband included. He laughed himself silly and I wanted to cover my head so no one would see me. |
| 179573 | David Kaplan | Kaplan vs. Kaplan | Fresh | — | 2006-11-06T13:27:47Z | 2006-11-06 13:27:47 | Cohen's comic genius is remarkable because most of what he does is improvisation. |

| 179576 | Luke Y. Thompson | LYTRules.com | Fresh | — | 2006-11-06T01:47:24Z | 2006-11-06 01:47:24 | It has great moments, but the scripted aspect of the story, which has Borat travelling cross country to propose to Pamela Anderson, isn't its strongest suit |
| 179577 | Pete Hammond | Maxim | Fresh | 4.5/5 | 2006-11-05T23:49:42Z | 2006-11-05 23:49:42 | Thank you Kazakhstan for giving the world a pure comedic genius. |

| 179583 | Tom Charity | CNN.com | Fresh | — | 2006-11-04T04:23:15Z | 2006-11-04 04:23:15 | Borat is so gut-bustingly funny it should carry a health warning. |

| 179586 | Jean Lowerison | San Diego Metropolitan | Fresh | — | 2006-11-04T04:23:12Z | 2006-11-04 04:23:12 | The whole film is silly, but strangely enough, crude as many of the jokes are, I haven't laughed this much in a long, long time. |
| 179587 | Alex Billington | FirstShowing.net | Fresh | 9.5/10 | 2006-11-03T23:49:42Z | 2006-11-03 23:49:42 | This movie finally puts together endless amounts of comedy intertwined with a coherent and equally-enjoyable plot in the quest for Pamela Anderson. |

| 179592 | Nathan Rabin | AV Club | Fresh | B+ | 2006-11-03T14:44:24Z | 2006-11-03 14:44:24 | Cohen's genius lies in combining the chameleon-like virtuosity of Peter Sellers with the balls-out fearlessness of the Jackass crew. |
| 179593 | Rebecca Murray | About.com | Fresh | A- | 2006-11-03T14:44:05Z | 2006-11-03 14:44:05 | It's fearless and disgusting and hilarious - high five! |
