Hilariously funny

Rating: 9/10 (10 May 2014)

Hilariously funny.
Sacha Baron Cohen takes his blend of irreverent slapstick and candid camera skits, perfected through Da Ali G Show, to the big screen. Borat was a regular character on Da Ali G Show and now he gets his own movie.
Half candid, half staged, totally funny. It just works on so many levels.
The central plot is okay, but is merely just s device for Borat;s antics.
Sending up people's ignorance, playing them for a fool or simply using them as background - so many victims. Sometimes Cohen's sheer nerve and chutzpah has to be seen to be believed...
Once you strip away the jokes, you get a feeling for the superficiality of modern culture. Sometimes you need a naive (faux) foreigner to show you how wrong society has gone...
