Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Borat is so gut-bustingly funny it should carry a health warning.

I did find this to be one of the more inventive, aggressively offensive and insanely tasteless comedies in many a year. And yeah, that's a thumbs-up.

rotten:
The theory of comedy here is that you can get away with almost anything if you manage to make your target audience feel superior to the human beings being mocked on the screen.

Borat is a serious work of social criticism. But it's also the funniest movie I've ever seen.

The backlash just proves how deep a nerve the faux Kazakh journalist has hit.
