Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
Kazakh journalist Borat Sagdiyev travels to America to make a documentary. As he zigzags across the nation, Borat meets real people in real situations with hysterical consequences. His backwards behavior generates strong reactions around him exposing prejudices and hypocrisies in American culture.
Critics Sentiment
Borat sings fake Kazakhstani anthem at Virginia rodeo
Borat and Azamat fight naked through hotel hallways
The film peaks with the brilliant rodeo anthem satire then crashes during the overlong naked wrestling sequence before recovering.
Critics praised Cohen's fearless satirical examination of American prejudices and his unwavering commitment to character. While some crude sequences were seen as excessive, most reviewers appreciated the film's ability to expose bigotry through brilliant social commentary. The improvised nature with real people created genuinely revealing moments that transcended mere shock comedy.
