Ten years have not been kind

Borat (2006)

Directed by Larry Charles this film stars Sacha Baron Cohen, Ken Davitian, Luenell, Pamela Anderson and a host of unsuspecting members of the public. A Kazakh journalist travels to the US to make a documentary on the country but becomes obsessed with meeting Pamela Anderson.

Constantly going for the low hanging fruit this film is not clever and about as subtle as being smashed in the head with a brick. Taking all sorts of stereotypes as the basis for this film I'm not sure that there is any way this film can be seen as not offensive. For my taste the film is too obviously constructed to pass as satire and pretty disappointing over all.


2/5
