Borat's cultural learning is revealing, even if it doesn't adequately convey how it benefits glorious nation of Kazakhstan. Go to Full Review David Ansen Newsweek Nov 1, 2007
The backlash just proves how deep a nerve the faux Kazakh journalist has hit. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico UGO Mar 24, 2007

In the tactics of Cohen, Charles and their collaborators ... there is a level of social insularity, sneering and intellectual sadism that is positively disturbing. Go to Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Jan 31, 2021
4/5

Always a fun time though. See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 26, 2026 This movie is a *4* star movie! See more Biba B @RT79884428 Sep 21, 2026 did you know female brain is just small like squirrels?
