Hilarious for those with an open mind.

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2006)

I'm not a big Ali G or Borat fan. Not that I don't think Cohen's characters are funny, I just don't watch the shows. That being said you don't have to be an avid fan to enjoy this film.
Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat is a man from Kazakhstan who decides to travel to America to find out about our "cultural learnings", and in the process insults many unaware Americans with his own.
What is ironic about this film is that on more than one occasion Borat encounters Americans who are almost as culturally bias/racist as he is. As an actor who is totally in control of his character, Cohen never breaks from Borat in situations he easily could have. Whether he is riding around in an ice cream truck with a bear hanging out the window or meeting with a feminist group, Borat is hysterical.
