Where to start with this one....hmmm. If you haven't turned on your TV recently, or just don't know enough about the comedian himself, chances are you've never heard of Borat. He's a middle-aged journalist from the country of Kazakhstan, has a thick bushy mustache, and knows nothing about American culture. He is, to Americans, your average oblivious foreigner. But there's more to a movie like Borat than just mangling the English language and watching him stumble across New York City like an idiot. Here is a satire—so simple, yet so remarkably sharp—that blows away the comedies of today. The gangly character is the brainchild of British-Jewish comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, better known for the moronic hip-hopster Ali G. Cohen flounders across the country in disguise, with Ken Davitian portraying fellow Kazakh producer Azamat Bagotov, interviewing real American folk and throwing in as much offensive and awkward conversation as possible. But Borat brings out the worst of people—exposing skin-deep bigotry and ignorance—through the miracle of comedy. But you can't help laughing—in fact, you're bound to be in tears by the end. Borat is genius at its best.

The plot aforementioned doesn't really need to be described anymore, and I'd prefer to save as much for you to find out for yourselves. Borat Sagdiyev (Cohen) has been recruited by his government with Azamat (Davitian) to learn more about American culture as to benefit their own country. Trekking out to New York City, the reporter meets several people before learning the miracles of cable television. It is there that he watches a show of such genius—known to us as 'Baywatch'—and our hero is lovestruck by blonde bombshell Pamela Anderson. But after all, Borat is married—he wants to meet this Pam woman. In one fell swoop, Borat packed his bags anyway and persuades Azamat to travel cross-country to marry her. In their trip, they encounter and interview a great variety of people, all ending in wild consequences. Again, I refuse to tell anymore—the laughs come a mile a minute, and to delve on one could affect the rest of the ride. Let's just leave it at that.
