Critics Consensus

Part satire, part shockumentary, Borat gets high-fives almost all-around for being offensive in the funniest possible way. Jagshemash!

Borat's cultural learning is revealing, even if it doesn't adequately convey how it benefits glorious nation of Kazakhstan.

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

The genius of Borat is all in Sacha Baron Cohen's daring, edgy, unrestrained performance.

In the tactics of Cohen, Charles and their collaborators ... there is a level of social insularity, sneering and intellectual sadism that is positively disturbing.

Borat is funny, spleen-bursting funny, although you may catch yourself wondering if these are the kind of jokes you should be laughing at.

It wallows gleefully in its very un-PC humor, but that is part of what makes it work so well. Cohen and director Larry Charles make the unthinkable funny -- and in the process might just get you to think about racism, bigotry and sexism.

This was refereed to me by a group of men and I can see why. It was funny but at the same time it gave me so much second hand embarrassment, especially if it wasn’t staged and it was all real. Going around breaking shit and pissing people off just for fun.. idk.

An incredible relic of the era. The comedic timing and general brainlessness of the American people he encountered here make every sequence of this entertaining.
