This film is disgusting tripe.

Rating: 1/10 (2 March 2007)

I'd heard the hype but having seen/suffered S B Cohen's previous work I just couldn't buy it. Needless to say its really awful, dire at times, and just plain boring all the rest, this is supposed to be a fly-on-the-wall style documentary, its all so staged and obviously so. It has zero plot and is severely lacking in laughs. What it doesn't lack however is hate, Sacha Baron Cohen really hates Muslims, his previous 'creation' Ali G was dripping in derision and bile but was on the right side of criminal, just. Borat is different, to portray a whole group of people as casual rapists and backward is wrong and the fact this film got made in the first place is a testament to the all round wrongness of our world. Its a hit-piece with a sly smile. Disgusting X 1,000,000.
