I don't know if it's going to change anybody's mind, but I love that it exists.

Cohen's twist-of-fate time with open-hearted, closed-minded Jim and Jerry is the best and brightest offering here as Cohen masterfully coaxes them into becoming diabolical examples of duality.

Rated: 6/10

Although some of these are excerpts from the 2nd film (I'm not going to reproduce the lengthy title here lol) they are still brilliant. In my opinion Sacha Baron Cohen is a comedic genius. I have liked all of the characters he has created, Borat by far being my favourite. I think the comedy relates better with British audiences than American and this could be why the ratings are so low (which I was surprised to see to be honest). Nevertheless, they is brilliant and I will watch them time and time again.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Just like most things put out as new today. It turns out to be old, recycled trash. I like the first Borat till he decided to speak as himself and put his opinions out there as gospel. It clouds his attempt at comedy. It's no longer funny, just sad...to watch. You'll want that lost part of your life back.

Obviously, this is just obscene milking of the franchise based on the almost zero direct presence of Mr. Borat, Sacha himself aside from short clips taken during the film shooting. Still quaint and charming though, sporadically educational.
