Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan was quite the humorous fakeumentary. Sasha Baron Cohen certainly came up with an interesting character and script, raising the bar for comedies.

If you didn’t already know, it is an offensive piece, but like good comedies, it is humorously offensive to all types of protected groups. The script had a hard time keeping up during the whole of the movie, which is why I gave it a lower rating than it may have deserved. That is not to say that I didn’t laugh. I did. It’s just that toward the end, the writing gave way to the length requirement of a feature film. Still, I would recommend watching it, especially with a group of friends who all have a strong sense of humor.

OXANNA: “What? What? What did say about me, you skinny piece of shit? Why don't you go do something useful and dig your mother a grave, you tall piece of shit!”

BORAT: “We support your war of terror.”

BORAT: “Although Kazakhstan a glorious country, it have a problem, too: economic, social, and Jew.”
