Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan Movie Synopsis

Borat Sagdiyev (Sacha Baron Cohen), Kazakhstan's sixth most famous man—a leading journalist from the state-run TV network—makes a journey to learn about American life. Accompanied by his obese producer, Borat chases unsuspecting New Yorkers on the subway and streets for kisses—the traditional greeting in his homeland.

Plans for the documentary change when Borat encounters—on a late night rerun—his true love, CJ Parker, the character played by Pamela Anderson on TV's "Baywatch." Planning to marry this goddess Kazakhstani style (which involves a burlap bag), he tricks his producer into traveling to Los Angeles. They rip across America in an ice-cream truck, leaving behind a wake of freaky and explicit mayhem.

Wasn't this supposed to be a comedy??

Overrated. Jackass type humor that hits and misses. It was also surprising to see that a great deal of the movie is scripted banter between the main characters, given that the previews made the movie appear to be mainly Borat interacting with unsuspecting Americans.

one of the best movie comedies of the decade. sara b.cohen makes this great character(from DA ALI G SHOW)take a genius leap to the big screen!watch it!!!A must see movie!!! 5 stars!!!
