Review by Dack

Starring:
Sacha Baron Cohen

Hello, my name is Borat! Actually it's Dack, or should I say, Dack that just saw the funniest movie in 2 years.

For those of you who don't know about the Borat character, he started back on Sacha Cohen's popular HBO series "Da Ali G Show". Basically, on Da Ali G show, sacha cohen would do skits dressed as a british gangster, Ali G, A gay sweedish fashion reporter, Bruno, and a TV Reporter from Kazakhstan, Borat. In the Borat skits, he would pretend to be a reporter from Kazakhstan, and interview people, while totally doing off the wall things, like trying to have sex with a dating coach, or singing the "Nation Anthem of Kazakhstan" for 5 straight minutes at a football game. The big screen adaption of Borat doesn't stray from the show at all.

In Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, Borat travels to America to learn about America, and show what he learned to Kazakhstan, to improve his nation. First he goes to New York, where New Yorkers true color really does shine, however while in New York, he sees an episode of baywatch, and becomes obsessed with Pamela Anderson.

So what's a Kazakhstan reporter going to do? Travel to california to marry Pamela Anderson. This sets off a road trip, that will take them to alot of strange places, that set's off so many weird and hilarious encounters, including buying a Bear.

Borat works well on so many levels. While it's telling the story of Borat, it's hiliarious, while Borat is interviewing people, it's hilarious, while Borat is driving around, it's hilarious. Infact, you don't go more than 30 seconds without laughing throughout the course of the whole movie, and that's exactly what a comedy should be like.

Final Rating: 5/5 stars
