Dont spill another's blood
Added 12/8/2009
This is shock-humor, justified with bogus arguements like "he-is-turning-a-mirror-on-society."
People were hurt and embarrassed by this film. Real people. Like the poor people in the Romanian village which he tried to pass off as Kazak. Cohen wants to make a living by causing pain and exploiting simple people? He is no better than a Wall Street banker. He is supposedly Jewish. Well he has violated a Jewish tradition which is known as "Don't spill another man's blood." Which means... don't intentionally embarrass another person. He is a bad Jew, and a bad person.

Not-too-bright Kazakshtanian reporter Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen) with a camera-crew and buddy Azamat (Ken Davitian) heads from his beloved country to the USA to film a documentary on the culture of America. But at a hotel room in New York City, he watches a TV show called Baywatch as Pamela Anderson catches his eye and decides to head all the way from New York to California as he still films his documentary so he can get with Pamela as he encounters Jews (which are hated his in country), gays, African Americans, hookers and other crazy stuff on a cross trip country filmmaking trip.
Brilliant social satire dark comedy-mockumentary from the creative genius of British comedy maestro Sacha Baron Cohen (Creator of "The Da Ali G Show") is one of his finest movies with "Da Ali G Movie" and "Bruno" which all formed a trilogy. This movie pushes no limits between taste and creativity as it's quite controversial as sometimes being antisemetic but Cohen is a British Jewish person and he defended this movie as being a satire on American culture including racism. The film is the best of Cohen's big trilogy but it may offend people but in a good way even with an unbelivable nude fight scene that has to be seen to believed.
This DVD contains only three extras which is a shame such as deleted scenes, Global PR Tour and music informercial.

VILE, DISGUSTING, RACIST, BIGOTED GARBAGE. NOTHING FUNNY HERE. COHEN, A RAT,ADS MORE HATE(HIS)TO ALREADY TOO HATEFUL WORLD. SAD.
Added 10/8/2009
ALERT! Do not be fooled by this deceptive bigotry through comedy? as is common these days. This garbage is a prime example of personal hate, COHEN'S disguised as comedy. A hate film for people who love to hate, como, like Cohen.
Our bookclub got this and thought it would be funny. Without doubts, the most vile and disgusting piece of garbage we subjected ourselves too. It is disgusting enough in and of itself, and has made Cohen a very rich man, at the expense of endless and cruel exploitation of less educated and poor people as perceived from Cohen's own mind and prejudices he learned in his home. The bigotry and racism are so insensitive and cruel that we didn't finish it and actually returned it and obtained a refund.
The images make us sick to our stomachs to this day. This from a bunch of senoir and senior, senoir citizens.
There is enough hate in this world, without Cohen adding so much more by his owm personal hatreds in this horrid movie.

I love this movie, no way around it. The humor is very racy and offends many but it's all part of the character. Some of the stuff that he says or implies are necessary for the film to work. I would recommend this movie to anyone who does not offend easily with perhaps a little bit of a wacky sense of humor.
