i will give it a 6/10

Rasta

"A genuine chocolate face"
"My moustache still smells like your testes"

one part that killed me was during the 'run of the jew' and that lady jew lays an EGG and Borat screams "JEW EGG" , then all the kids proceed to beat the egg LOL

great movie, it was nonstop laughs for me, and he definitely put himself on the map with this. There is a bidding war among major studios for his next film, "Bruno"


btw, I saw him on Stern a while back, and he was saying how the ENTIRE time he had to stay in character, even when people where chasing him with a gun or when he got arrested by the cops, he couldnt tell them "Hey guys we're just doing a joke, dont worry about it"
Really talented guy, Sacha Baron Cohen himself is a very down-to-earth guy

Saw it yesterday.. it was funny but then I expected it to be super-funny and in the end it didn't quite live up to my expectations.
I felt like the internet spoiled it for me because most of the scenes are already out there..

"Borat" vanquishes rivals in box office stunner
Sunday November 5 2:14 PM ET

As the intrepid Kazakhstan journalist Borat Sagdiyev might say, "Borat" make glorious entrance at Hollywood office of movies.

Indeed, "Borat" -- the acclaimed comedy tracing the Jew-fearing title character's road trip across the United States -- stunned observers by opening at No. 1 on Sunday with ticket sales of $26.4 million, more than double the most optimistic forecasts.

The Twentieth Century Fox release was expected to open somewhere in the top-five, certainly well behind presumed new champ, "The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause," which had to be content with a No. 2 opening on ticket sales of $20 million.

Fox released the R-rated "Borat" in just 837 theaters across the United States and Canada, down from initial plans of 2,500 theaters, because polling indicated that huge enthusiasm among critics and the MySpace crowd had not spread to mainstream moviegoers.

In the end, it appeared that naked wrestling, toilet jokes and anti-semitic satire hold universal appeal. "Borat" also earned more than $17 million overseas after opening in 17 countries, and was No. 1 in at least Britain and Germany, according to preliminary Fox data.

"It's broad, slapstick humor but with a real intelligence hidden below the surface," said Bruce Snyder, Fox's president of domestic theatrical distribution.

English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen stars in the title role as a TV reporter making a documentary about the United States for his impoverished countrymen. Baron Cohen and director Larry Charles, a former "Seinfeld" writer/producer, made the $18 million film guerrilla-style.

NUDITY, SPECIAL CHEESE

Their "co-stars," often not in on the joke, get to look aghast as Borat runs naked through a hotel or offers cheese he claims was made from his wife's breast milk. Or otherwise they don't blink an eyelid as Borat tries to buy a gun suitable for shooting Jews.

Snyder said the film will expand to about 2,500 theaters across North America next weekend, and was confident that excellent "word-of-mouth" would make the film a must-see across all demographics.

"The Santa Clause 3," starring Tim Allen as St. Nick, played in 3,458 theaters. Its $20 million opening was down sharply from the $29 million bow of its 2002 predecessor, which went on to make $139 million.

Still, Disney said the opening was "phenomenal," given the competition in the family-film market, notably from arch-rival DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc.'s latest cartoon "Flushed Away," which opened at No. 3 with $19.1 million.

"Flushed Away," the ninth animal cartoon of the year, exceeded the expectations of its distributor, Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Pictures. The tale of a mouse flushed into the sewer was produced by DreamWorks Animation in association with Britain's Aardman Animation, the firm behind "Wallace and Gromit."

Observers had expected the new effort to open in the same $16 million range as DreamWorks/Aardman's previous venture, "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit," which ended up with just $56 million last year, forcing DreamWorks to take a write-down on its costs.

The new film cost $130 million to make, according to an estimate by David Miller an analyst at brokerage Sanders Morris Harris, meaning that it will have to gross $315 million worldwide to make any money for DreamWorks.

Also new to the top-10 was "The Queen," which jumped four places to No. 10 in its sixth week of release with $3 million from just 387 theaters. The British drama, revolving around the aftermath of Princess Diana's fatal car crash, was released by Disney's Miramax Films, and has earned $10 million to date.

Last weekend's champion, the horror "Saw III," fell to No. 4 with $15.5 million, taking its 10-day haul to $60.1 million -- on par with the performance of its 2005 predecessor. The series was released by Lionsgate, a unit of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.

First off anyone who gets offended by this movie needs to take their stick out of their ass. The whole idea of the movie is to show how ridiculous these racist people are and laugh at them at the same time.

I watched it last night and these 2 dudes behind me said "im jewish im kinda offended" and the proceeded to laugh at the black jokes, white jokes, etc etc. Gimme a break!

Hilarious movie and hopefully he makes more!

True and it was ONLY because I had watched some of the deleted and "extra" scenes on the net, hell that's almost half the movie. The part where he was with the fratboys was hilarious, w the evangelicals as well and the naked scene. The rest I basically watched and heard about online, meh. The show is a lot better imo.
