The Bottom Line
You're either going to laugh your rear off or hate this movie - there's no middle of the road with Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. As Kazakhstani reporter Borat Sagdiyev, Sacha Baron Cohen spits out the most outrageous racist and sexist statements imaginable. But it's really the incredible reaction of the Americans he encounters on his journey across the U.S. and A that makes Borat so memorable.
