Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan - 8 stars out of 10
This movie is incredibly offensive, but Sasha Baron Cohen's accent brings immediate forgiveness for every crude and racial remark uttered throughout. Despite the "stupid humor" of this documentary-style movie, Cohen's performance is really incredible and it feels as if his character is completely legit. Off the wall dialogue and situations keep you guessing how things could get any more ridiculous. "This is Natalia." [Romantically kisses hot blonde chick] "She's my sister. She is number four prostitute in Khazikstan." [Sister holds up trophy] "Nice." Though the extensive naked scene was a bit much, this movie is filled with classic moments like the bear in the ice cream truck (which was absolute genius). Who couldn't appreciate that this is one of the world's most elaborate practical jokes, all caught on camera? There may be a lot of language, but it is worth enduring for Cohen's beautifully unpredictable performance.
