Review of Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006) by Nick A — 06 May 2012

Jagshemash! Sacha Baron Cohen, star of HBO's hit comedy series, 'Da Ali G Show,' further embraces the Kazakh TV journalist Borat Sagdiyev, extending his ludicrous mannerisms and farcical cultural habits to us by way of the most brazen and impertinent film to come in ages; and one of the funniest, too.

'Borat' is a new breed of cinema; one in which insolent humor and audacious pranks are loaded upon unsuspecting persons with neither regret nor apology. This class of comedy is one unafraid of all those out there who will, with their every breath, attempt at discrediting its material.

And it is of no fantasy that this film will be a target for many to pursue in the months following its release. The film's crude go-about-things is relentless in its hunt to abash and debase any and all social cliques, glorified unions and self-reputed organizations.

However, beneath the barbaric slaughtering of all targeted by this film (which varies from Jews, Gypsies, gays and blacks to Feminists and cowboys and the American Fraternity) is concealed a furtively executed pearl of comedic cinema; one that will only grow in its likeability, despite being anything but.

As would say Borat, 'Great success!'.
