One of the funniest films of all time. It's completely outrageous and uncomfortable but almost every scene is absolutely hilarious. Very unique brand of comedy

3 Thoughts After Re-Watching ‘Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan’: 1. Still equally uncomfortable and absolutely hysterical to this day. 2. The scene — THAT one — is still absolutely nauseating to this day. 3. SO excited for the sequel this month! But the bar has been set pretty damn high.

It was amateurish and immature - more like a high school project than an actual movie. I laugh louder at your average Budweiser commercial than I laughed at 60 minutes of Borat. It was so unfunny and bad that I just got tired of it and closed the player - just stopped. I do not know if it was top 10 worst movie material, but it was close. Combine that with the fact that my expectations were high, since everyone was raving about how hilarious it was - I heard many people saying things like "funniest movie of all time". To me, it was so unfunny, I do not even understand how someone could think it was funny. Possibly, I laughed out loud once, and chuckled a couple times, but mostly, I just sat there waiting for it to get funny instead of stupid. Again, for some reason, people vote for a "trendy" movie that was really, really bad.

I think I was too tolerant on the rating

Hugely successful at the time, Borat still holds up today as a lot of the things being mocked still apply 15 years later, maybe even more so. It had a huge cultural impact, how many times have you heard someone in a generically Slavic accent say “it’s nice, I like”? Even people that have never seen the movie attempt to use that catchphrase. Borat was brilliant in that it pushed the bounds of what was acceptable, by going after things that are unacceptable. Racism, sexism, classism, anti-semitism, and more - they’re all here and all being exposed for the ridiculousness that they are.
