Sacha Baron Cohen, alias ALI G, alias Borat, has made a new movie, or a “movie film” as Borat calls it. This time the character Borat leaves his home country for a trip to America in order to “Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan”.

After an enormous media campaign and a good experience with Sacha Baron Cohen his productions in the past, I was a bit disappointed with “Borat”. It was funny, let’s make that clear, but there wasn’t a lot of deeper thought it. It wasn’t any better than an ordinary episode of Borat or ALI G. I give it a 6.
