5.0 out of 5 stars How did Kazakhstan benefit exactly? 12 Mar 2007
Format:DVD
Sacha Borat aka Borat, the charmingly offensive, Kazakhstan reporter has written and appeared in a hilarious anti-PC film that tramples over every cringing, PC attitude, where previously, 'decent' folk once feared to tread. His exploits in seeking to introduce America for the benefit of Kazakhstan TV have deeply upset Kazakhstani politicians and tourism officials alike. (Did Kazakhstan have a tourist industry before this film?)

But the joke is really on America and Americans and the way that they respond to Borat provides the humour of the film. Their endemic racism, homophobic and their tendency to take things literally and their inability to send themselves up produce some very funny episodes.

Aided by the memorably named Azamat Bogatov, 'Borat' does pander to the lowest common denominator, but somehow he gets away with each outrageous scene and stunt. How he managed to avoid arrest is open to speculation. From watching the film again, it is conceivable that more of the stunts were staged than initally seemed possible. The extras to promote the movie, which are included in the DVD package are worth viewing, as are the deleted scenes. Sacha Baron Cohen's appearances to promote the movie, (chat shows in the US and openings in cities around the world) were conducted in character. Indeed, such is his total immersion in the character that he reminds me of the late, great, Peter Sellers, who was similarly transformed by the characters he inhabited, often to the point that he couldn't step back out of character.

How Cohen plans to follow up this triumph will be eagerly awaited. Nothing else he has tried has worked as well as Borat. The Bruno character is more the stuff of short sketch than full-length feature film. In the meantime, savour the outrageousness of this DVD. Highly recommended.

All stand for the Kazakhstan National Anthem!

3.0 out of 5 stars Inconsistant but enjoyable 19 July 2007
By Eye Can
Format:DVD
After all the anticipation and hype I was expecting something a bit fuller than this. The comedy starting off so well seemed to dry up for extended chunks of time
Dare I say it BECAME A bit boring as character starting off so promising struggled to fill out the time. Parts of film though and story line brilliant I wish they could have developed more and cut out some of the padded out scenes

5.0 out of 5 stars WAWAWEEWAH! 9 Jan 2007
Format:DVD
Best movie-film ever. I would like to purchase this movie-film. Everybody must buy it. I could not stop laughing when I saw this movie-film. I saw it in November when it came out and I'm still quoting lines from it and watching clips of it on YouTube. It's amazing how Sacha Baron Cohen pulled this act off. I would really love to own an ice cream truck and have a pet bear, just like Azamat and Borat in the film. This film has made me want to visit Kazakhstan.

It's definitely not for everyone, but if you don't mind the adult themes and erm... "graphic" scenes, then you'll definitely enjoy the movie. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing.
I love his jokes, about religion, and all the stuff with jews, and the stuff about gypsys. Great film. Don't miss it, and for such a low price, there is no reason not to purchase.
