Outrageous situations occur when a popular reporter (Sacha Baron Cohen) from Kazakhstan comes to the United States to film a documentary.

Critics Consensus

Part satire, part shockumentary, Borat gets high-fives almost all-around for being offensive in the funniest possible way. Jagshemash!

Borat's cultural learning is revealing, even if it doesn't adequately convey how it benefits glorious nation of Kazakhstan.

The backlash just proves how deep a nerve the faux Kazakh journalist has hit.

The genius of Borat is all in Sacha Baron Cohen's daring, edgy, unrestrained performance.

In the tactics of Cohen, Charles and their collaborators ... there is a level of social insularity, sneering and intellectual sadism that is positively disturbing.

Borat is funny, spleen-bursting funny, although you may catch yourself wondering if these are the kind of jokes you should be laughing at.

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.

You simply won't be able to last 3 minutes in this movie without rolling on the floor laughing in this beyond offensive but yet beyond hilarious experience.

This is a hilarious movie and Sasha Baron Cohen is amazing. One of the reasons Borat works is because it doesn't belabor its jokes. It delivers the punch-lines then moves on. The movie is set up as a road trip, but each stop over has its own set of characters and comedic set pieces. The variation keeps things fresh and the relatively short running length (less than 90 minutes) ensures that Borat doesn't overstay its welcome.

Apart from the fight and pictures scenes, this movie is absolutely hilarious and quotable.

I think with repeat viewings this film does lose some of its shock humour but you can understand why this film defined a generation. The memorable moments now feel a bit overplayed but the hidden camera still scenes still feel shocking.
