Trivia:

Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): After the Gay Pride Parade, Borat asks a black congressman "What is gay?". However, later in the film when he sings his country's national anthem, it has a line referencing gays in a negative way. It seems unlikely that he wouldn't know the meaning of the word if it was in their national anthem, especially as means of insult. more

An Appalling Masterpiece, 3 March 2007
7/10
Author: mjstellman from An Anglo In Italy

The laughter is genuine even when I was appalled at what I was laughing at. Is Sacha Baron Cohen a genius of sorts or the biggest smart ass to hit the screens in a long, very long time? He makes John Waters appear like an (old) Disney product. The nastiness works because it is immediately recognizable and his targets live next door if not with me between my four walls. It is a social-horror-documentary. The three guys talking about women between beer and beer was so horribly real that I wanted to leave the theater laughing and screaming at the same time. Borat is not tender about his own background either. He is an equal opportunity offender if I ever saw one. The world is a cesspool and nobody is immune. Even his innocence is corrupt. I've been considering seeing it again, as the whole thing in one single disgusting lump was too much to take but I'm not sure I want to. I'll wait for the DVD where I'll be able to select and discard. My only question is now, what will Sacha Baron Cohen do for an encore.
