Film: Borat (2006)

DVD: Anamorphic
Borat - Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (Widescreen Edition)

"This is Natalya. She is my sister. She is number-four prostitute in whole of Kazakhstan. Niiice!"

Review: Just as funny and uncomfortable the second time around. This is a movie/documentary of Americans trying to comprehend and interact with a foreign journalist who has very outdated ideas on gender, race, sex, and personal hygiene. Whether they respond with confusion, anger, helpfulness or delight in finding someone who shares their bigoted views, it is hilarious to watch. The DVD special features are great as well.

"Sometime my sister, she show her vagine to my brother, Bilo, and say... 'You will never get this. You will never get this. La-la-la-la-la-la.' He behind his cage. Crazy, Crazy. Everybody laughs. She go, 'You never get this.' Uh, but one time he break cage and he GET THIS and then we all laugh. High five!"
"Now, um, um. No, that would not be funny in America, okay?"

"Look, there is a woman in a car! Can we follow her and maybe make a sexy time with her?"
"No, no, no!"
"Not yet, huh? Why not?"
"Because a woman has the right to choose who she has sex with."
"WHAT?!"
"How about that? Isn't that amazing?"
"You joke?"
"There must be consent. That's good, huh?"
"Is not good for me."
"No, it is good."

4 1/2 out of 5 Stars
