Review of Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006) by Debsuvra G — 18 May 2012

Good but not great, Sacha Baron Cohen definitely coins his own humor with the comedy Borat, which tends to use the fish-out-of-water technique to deliver a film that I feel would have been funnier 10 years earlier.

Call it desensitization, but this rude, brash comedy style is far less offensively comedic than it is trying to be and with the "shockumentary" attempt at getting real people's reactions, it comes off similar to an episode of Jackass or some candid camera show than an actual living, breathing feature.
