The movie however it has come out made me think it's real. I mean not all but Borat as channel representative, his producer, the incident of national anthem and last but not the least Pamela Anderson incident. It took me to google out for real anthem and profile of real actors along with frequently asked questions on imdb followed by number of votes to find out that this 1hr20min treat is 100% work of fiction. Yes I would have fallen for a culture with such values, even if it put me on my toes. Thankfully it is total fiction and impeccable treat of humor.Tone, Script & Story: The story how two people from a channel in Kazakhstan interview Americans for their uplift of their society.Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: I fell for this work of fiction as described earlier. It is that good. Acting: Borat nails it. Other actors are incredibly well too.Final Verdict: It is an Incredibly Humorous treat challenging some of society's norms, but no worries thankfully as its fiction!

Very niice!! LOL Borat is 1 of the funniest characters ever lol his hobbies are ping pong, sunbathe, disco dance and ummm.....Sasha Baren Cohen is hilarious haha and very niice!!

I find myself quoting this movie all the time without even thinking about it. My friends quote it all the time. Even if you haven't seen this movie, chances are you still know all the funny quotes. There's nothing more to say that hasn't been said, this movie is iconic. The beautiful thing is... you do not need to think at all! Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the fun

I recently wrote a review of Dad's Army (2016) and was shocked to see that film offered up as the worst film ever made. I hated it; it was a poor movie in every respect, but I watched it for about 10 minutes longer than I watched the abysmal Borat - and I will never get those 20 minutes back either. I won't lie - I didn't pay to see this sorry excuse for entertainment at a cinema. It had actually just appeared on Sky Movies (pay to view) or whatever it was at the time, so this had to be way back around 2007, and my wife really wanted to see it because of the reviews she had read somewhere. Me, I knew of Sacha Baron Cohen by his reputation and what I had heard was enough for me to suggest we watch something else (or poke cocktail sticks into each other's eyes, for fun) but no. So she watched with enthusiasm and I watched with a heavy heart and Samaritans on speed dial. After 10 minutes she was rather less enthusiastic, and at the 20 minute mark she actually apologised to me (a rare occurrence) for choosing to watch something so moronic and suggested we watch something a little more entertaining instead. I forget what we did watch, but it was infinitely better (and, whatever it was, be it Schindler's List or whatever, it would have been funnier) than watching Borat. Borat was infantile. It was crude. It was offensive - and that was just the 20 minutes that we watched. We both agreed on these things the following day when discussing why we quit a movie we had paid good money to watch, and when talking with friends we discovered we were not alone - in fact we had difficulty in finding anyone who would admit to having watched the thing to the end; those who did mainly said they had paid to see the film and that walking out was not an option. No one said that it was as funny as we had all been led to believe it was and, 11-odd years later, not one person I have spoken to recently has good memories of this shameful movie. Incidentally, today I was looking at DVD's in a charity shop and there was Borat (99p). Interesting to note that, apparently, there is even more shocking footage that is included as bonus extras that didn't make it to the original edit. Just imagine how much worse it could have been... Also interesting that the bits taken from reviews, telling us how fantastic this production was, are from what would have been regarded as 'lad's mags' that have gone to the wall. Baron Cohen has said something along the lines of he uses his characters to expose the prejudices prevalent in society. I would ask if he isn't perhaps waving a red cape before a bull and when the bull charges he tells us that this demonstrates that bulls are obviously monsters whose violent and antisocial actions he is exposing. Maybe he could be persuaded to poke an angry beehive with a stick, naked, to show that bees can also be provoked, rather than giving us anymore of his lame characters. Either way, he is not someone whose films I will rush out to watch. In fact nearly anything with the name Sacha Baron Cohen in it means that, generally, we will not watch it - although the kids love the Madagascar series, but were indifferent to Hugo - so there will be no chance of deliberately watching anymore of his crass output.In summary: this is absolutely the worst film I have ever had the misfortune to pay money to view. I gave a score of 1 because there is no lower figure, but this production - to me - would seriously justify there being a minus score opportunity for IMDB reviews.
