I've known the character of Borat since 2000, when I discovered Sascha Baron Cohen and his equally funny Ali G character. But while his Ali G movie wasn't as good as the TV show, the Borat movie is as good as anything I've seen previously from that character. It is incredibly refreshing to FINALLY come across a great comedy, the genre being virtually dead since the 90s. (And, not surprisingly, it is once again not a Hollywood product that is this hilarious.) The film will offend many, but probably only those who take themselves and life far too seriously (and, of course, many Kazak people). The film lasts only 80 minutes, which is a relief, because it offers a non-stop barrage of terrific verbal and sight gags, and any longer than that would have been unbearable. I quite literally had to watch the film with pauses, in order to calm down a bit and catch my breath. It isn't just a silly movie. It is a far cleverer satire than some people may realize at first. Sascha Baron Cohen, himself a Jew, has exposed the stupidity of (newly rising) anti-Semitism, and in the best and most original way I have ever seen. In fact, some of my personal favourites from the movie are precisely scenes dealing with hatred and fear of Jews. The movie is also politically incorrect, and this is a great part of the reason why it's so good. No black female judges in court-rooms in this one
