Borat (2006)
A well knows and successful journalist Borat Sagdiyev comes to America to study local culture and society as he was sent to the USA by the government of his country to made a documentary. The place to understand American humor is New York City. There he discovers that American women are the most beautiful while watching Baywatch on TV. He suddenly comes to a conclusion that he has to make C.J. Parker, who was played by Pamela Anderson and saluted him from Malibu, his wife. Nothing can stop him as he's crossing the country on his way to California, where his future wife, as he thinks, is located. He bears the dream to take her away to his native country.

Borat is the rare comedy that operates without a safety net. Cohen and director Larry Charles' film provides constant laughter and surprises while daring the viewer to be rightfully offended.

Although I knew it was dishonest, cynical, and the ultimate in cheap-shot humor, I laughed more at Borat than at any other film this year. So I guess the joke is on me.

Borat... is a not only a very good comedy but is also an interesting sociological experiment as to how numerous individuals in the USA would respond to a man such as Borat, and often the reactions are interesting and vastly entertaining.

I did find this to be one of the more inventive, aggressively offensive and insanely tasteless comedies in many a year. And yeah, that's a thumbs-up.

For better or for worse, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is unique, an important movie, a multiplex comedy that doubles as a conceptual art epic.

Borat is so gut-bustingly funny it should carry a health warning.

Borat is a serious work of social criticism. But it's also the funniest movie I've ever seen.

Frequently uproarious and occasionally side-splitting -- but it's very hit-or-miss, prone to stretches of unnecessary crudeness and flat one-liners.

The theory of comedy here is that you can get away with almost anything if you manage to make your target audience feel superior to the human beings being mocked on the screen.

Cohen's genius lies in combining the chameleon-like virtuosity of Peter Sellers with the balls-out fearlessness of the Jackass crew.

The backlash just proves how deep a nerve the faux Kazakh journalist has hit.
