Funny, depressing, and consistently offensive, Borat is soon to be a classic comedy. It’s a film that has no boundaries and little care for political correctness. In today’s climate, that’s exactly what movie audiences need.

For a comedy, there’s definitely a sharp eye for some of America’s downfalls. A gun dealer has no problem letting Borat handle a gun after explicitly asking if it’s good to kill Jews. A rodeo owner discusses how all gays should be hung. An entire crowd of eager onlookers cheers as Borat praises “America’s war OF terror.” These depressing looks at American society strangely fit in with Borat’s antics, giving the audience a few minutes to breathe before more hilarity ensues.

Nearly every segment works as Sacha Baron Cohen’s character travels the country in search of Pamela Anderson, all while filming a “documentary” about America for his impossible to spell country, Kazakhstan. He meets all kinds of Americans: those who threaten him, those who enjoy his company, and a few who arrest him.

Borat earns its hard R rating in ways that are barely appropriate for publication. Don’t let the thought of a naked fat man sitting on the face of a naked skinny man scare you off. It’s the best scene in the movie, despite the rather torturous lingering memories when the film is over.

The film is brilliant as clueless people have no idea they’re being duped, and Cohen is well aware that his actions are outrageously offensive. Everyone gets their moment, whether they're religious, a politician, gay, mentally handicapped, or an average American. With some of the reactions, it’s hard to say any of these people didn’t have it coming.

Borat is one of those rare comedies that can inflict actual pain on the viewer. There’s little time to breathe or calm down. You’re constantly laughing to the point of physical exhaustion. Aside from a slight calming down period in the final half hour, Borat is perfect.
