A Maniacal Laugh-Riot!!

Rating: 8/10 (8 August 2015)

Borat is loud, vulgar, culturally insensitive, racist, sexist, crazy but ultimately a ridiculously hilarious 84-minute movie that might be one of the funniest movies ever made. The eccentric title character is played by Sacha Baron Cohen.
Borat hails from Kazakhstan and works as a television reporter. He is sent to the USA in order to learn from their culture and incorporate the things that he learns during his visit.
Due to the incredibly hilarious opening scene, the main problem with the movie lies in maintaining its level of hilarity. There are a lot of moments which might disgust some viewers and it is definitely not a movie for those who cannot stomach some disturbing imagery.
Sacha Baron Cohen, the British comedian, also helped in shaping the character and in writing many of his own dialogs. It is a splendid performance and he deserved the Golden Globe that was bestowed upon him.
Borat starts off with a lot of promise, but the second half of the movie fails to match the level that was shown in the beginning. However, due to its short runtime, Borat is great if you are looking for something funny with a limited time.
