Scandalously rude and funny. As Borat, a dim-witted reporter from Kazakhstan who mingles with real, live American citizens, Sacha Baron Cohen is the best sort of pest. He’s a blinkered, intolerant idiot who brings out the blinkered, intolerant idiot in others, and Borat is a psycho-political Jackass — a comedy of global insanity.
