CRITIQUE & REVIEW: “Borat...," A Date Movie? NOT!


Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is a very funny and offensive movie that is only for the people who will "get it." Borat's creator Sacha Baron Cohen is a comic genius. I only hope that the wrestling shown really was fake like the professional varity. It's a "guy movie" that the ladies will most likely not appriciate. Not a date movie.

Look: 3
Story: 5
Acting: 8
Goal: 9
Intangibles: 7
Overall: 7
