If you have seen films like America Pie, Austin Powers Goldmember and Ali G in da house, then you are guaranteed to like this film! The unique thing about this film, is that the scenes are all real life situations and it is rumoured some of the scenes were not planned and not acted out.
There are many positive things about the film. First of all, you are laughing nearly all the way throughout the film. I liked a lot of the film. I find most of the jokes very funny and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it.
There are many other scenes which are realistic and the music is relevant and is supported significantly throughout the film. Some of the effects are really cool too. The story is quite believable and sensible. The setting is in America which is the best country in the world according to Borat. Hi five!
However, there are some negative things about the film. The film can give the impression of racism. There are many parts in the film where some people are offended. Although I do not get offended by any of the jokes, some people do. Borat can be thought of as quite a tacky made film; it seems as if someone is just walking around filming Borat on a camcorder. Some people also do not find many of the jokes funny.
Sacha Boran Cohen plays Borat in the film. He has the main roll and plays it very well. I liked the character, as he is very funny and enjoyable to watch him act like a prat and make humorous jokes. Sacha Boran Cohen has acted as Borat in many other television shows and therefore is experienced in acting like him and speaking like him. People who like funny actors and actors who make jokes which could offend people will probably relate to the character.
Ken Davitian plays Azamat in the film. Personally I do not like this character. He is probably the second main character. He is not funny in the film, although, he is not supposed to be. He acts his character well.
Overall, the film is extremely funny and is recommended for those who enjoy comedy films. There may be bad aspects of the film, however these are cancelled out by the fact that it is so funny and has won so many awards.
