Not funny, just stupid, intentionally offensive and phony

Rating: 1/10 (23 August 2016)

Released in 2006, "Borat" is a mockumentary about Borat Sagdiyev (Sacha Baron Cohen), a TV reporter of a popular show in the fictional Kazakhstan, who is sent to the United States by his government to report on the greatest country in the world. With a documentary crew in tow, Borat interviews various people (who are unaware it's all a joke) and eventually becomes intent on meeting and marrying Pamela Anderson.
As my title blurb says, "Borat" isn't funny; it's just stupid, intentionally offensive and phony. As far as the latter goes, the last part with Pamela Anderson is totally contrived and goes against the very directive of the movie -- to film people without their knowing the documentary's fake and showing their authentic responses to the weird and idiotic Borat character.
The fact that this POS grossed $128,505,958 in America alone tells you where we are as a society and explains the mass support for someone like HiLIARy.
The movie runs 84 minutes.
GRADE: F
