This fast paced, politically incorrect comedy is a smart satire movie.

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2007)

Borat Sagdiyev (Sacha Baron Cohen) is a TV reporter for his home country of Kazakhstan. Borat along with his producer (Ken Davitian) are leaving their home town of Kozcek to go on a trip to America. Which they are leaving to bring awareness to their land by filming a documentary. But when Borat discovers "Baywatch" on television, he has an instant crush on Pamela Anderson. Instead of trying to bring awareness to his country, he goes cross-America to find his idol.
Directed by Larry Charles made an very amusing, fast-paced, politically incorrect, mockumentay style comedy. Which it is Based on a Character that Cohen created for the Da Ali G Show from HBO. At times, this movie is so embarrassing to watch. Because of Borat's misadventures traveling in America. Cohen's character is very funny, fresh, good-hearted but not always in a good way.
DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer and an good-Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD also has Deleted Scenes and more. This smart satire has its shares of unforgettable funny scenes and as well for gross-out moments. This comedy was One of the Biggest Hits of 2006. This film received an Oscar Nomination for Best Original Screenplay by Sacha Baron Cohen, Anthony Hines, Peter Baynham and Dan Mazer. From a Story by Cohen, Hines, Baynham and Todd Phillips. Although this film feels largely improvised. Don't miss the song during the end credits, it's a hoot. (****/*****).
