Where to Watch Borat
- JacobOctober 30, 2026Sacha Baron Cohen comedy at it's finest
- Movie_NerdJune 1, 2025Great Success! I have never laughed so much in my life, Azmat is my favourite character no doubt
- parktool69May 12, 2026made me uncomfy with all the buttholes
- Kevin WardAugust 11, 2026My oldest son has been wanting to watch this for a while. And it felt like a natural double feature after Idiocracy. I still love some of the bits in this. It’s one of the most memorable in theater watches I’ve had. But some of the elements have lost a bit of its luster. Mostly the story bits with no element of unknowing targets. Occasionally, they exist to setup or satirize the upcoming segment, but often they’re just to have some low brow shock humor. Obviously that stuff kind of has diminishing returns on repeat viewings. Not jokes segment still hits.
- Matthew RotherhamJune 24, 2026@TiborHovath seems really upset I gave it 2 and a half stars. What an odd little duck.

- Manuel FrangisMarch 22, 2025I just watched Borat again and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. This movie is absolutely insane in the best way. It is one of the boldest comedies ever made and it still hits just as hard today. Sacha Baron Cohen goes all in from start to finish and what he pulls off is nothing short of genius. The story follows Borat a journalist from Kazakhstan who travels to America to learn about the culture and report his findings back home. What sounds like a simple setup quickly becomes one of the wildest and most uncomfortable comedy journeys you will ever see. The entire movie is filled with awkward encounters outrageous behavior and moments that make you laugh and cringe at the same time. Sacha Baron Cohen is on another level in this role. He becomes Borat completely with the accent the body language the expressions everything. What makes it so brilliant is how committed he is. No matter how wild or uncomfortable the situation gets he never breaks character and that is what makes every scene work. The comedy is raw fearless and totally unfiltered. Borat says and does things that most people would never even think of doing in public let alone on camera. The way the movie blends scripted moments with real reactions from unsuspecting people adds to the chaos and makes it even funnier. You are constantly wondering what is real and what is staged and that unpredictability keeps the energy high. One of the best parts of Borat is how it uses humor to shine a light on real issues. Under all the ridiculous jokes and insane scenes there is a smart layer of social commentary. It exposes ignorance prejudice and hypocrisy in a way that is funny but also kind of eye opening. That balance between shock humor and sharp satire is what makes it stand out from other comedies. The pacing is perfect. The movie never slows down or gives you a chance to catch your breath. Every scene brings a new wild situation and just when you think it cannot get any crazier it does. It is nonstop chaos and it works so well because of how unpredictable and fearless it is. The way Borat interacts with real people makes the movie feel different from any traditional comedy. You are not just watching a character act ridiculous in a made up world you are seeing real reactions and that makes it so much funnier and more uncomfortable. The reactions people give to Borat’s behavior are just as funny as the things he says. The reason this movie works so well is because of how far it is willing to go. It pushes boundaries but not just to be offensive. Everything serves a purpose and builds the character of Borat in a way that feels oddly genuine even though it is completely absurd. Overall Borat is one of the funniest and most original comedies ever made. It is wild uncomfortable fearless and somehow still smart underneath all the chaos. Sacha Baron Cohen completely disappears into the character and creates something that will never be repeated. I laughed the whole way through and I could not believe how far it went. This is easily a 5 out of 5 stars movie for me and one that I will definitely watch again anytime I need a comedy that just does not care about playing it safe.
- Eazy NielsonMay 15, 2026This shit was wild but , look how America looks haha
- George BananzaMarch 30, 2026Very nice!
- Space GhostMarch 8, 2026This movie holds up after 20 years
- Otacon!February 25, 2026Maybe because I had started to watch this movie with a smile on my face knowing that it will be funny, but I like it. It's not one of that movies that I will rewatch over and over again, but I think it's not a waste of time. I will not give it the +90% score that the media had gifted, but a solid 3 stars on 5 yes
- CravanThePugilistFebruary 9, 202620 years later, still one of the funniest movies of all time imo. Sacha is an absolute legend for pulling this off.
