5.0 out of 5 stars Review solely for new Amazon/TiVo service, March 7, 2007

This review is from: Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (Amazon Instant Video)

Of course, I give Borat 5 stars...there is no question about that.....it's just hilarious, but you do have to have an open mind about it's humor...It can be offensive to some, but hysterical to others.

But I'm here to review the new service by Amazon and TiVo. I signed up and got my $15 promotion towards any movie, and I decided I would purchase Borat. Checkout was a breeze, and within 10 minutes of my purchase time, my internet-connected TiVo began downloading the movie and was finished in about an hour.

I also went to my Media Library and sent Borat to one of my bedroom TiVo's also! It's a wonderful and convienient new service! I can't wait until Amazon's movie catalogue becomes substantially larger!

If you are an Amazon customer with a broadband connected TiVo, you are in business!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Borat: "Thank you for watch my film. I hope you like. Dziekuje.", June 29, 2010

This review is from: Borat with Glorious Kazakhstan T-shirt (DVD)

If you're Azamat-sized, forget about the tee shirt!


BORAT (2006) is easily the wackiest movie made in many a year. It's extremely politically incorrect, kinda juvenile in spots and just one huge laugh, that is, if the insulting of Jews, women and "retards," or seeing a nude 400 lb. guy in all his flabbiness won't put you off your popcorn.

The full title (Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan) gives a sense of how our hero, as portrayed by Londoner Sacha Cohen, fractures the English language. Kazakhstani TV reporter Borat was originally one of three Cohen characters on the half-hour BBC-TV comedy series, DA ALI G SHOW (2003). This movie expands on his anti-Semitism, misogny and penchant for misspoken scatology as Borat films a documentary of his travels from the East to the West Coast of America.

Borat is based on an incredibly funny doctor that Cohen met while in southern Russia. Those of us who appreciate a good belly laugh are truly grateful for this chance encounter.

Erran Cohen's fanciful national anthem "O Kazakhstan" has a tune and lyrics that immediately invade your brain. Here are two of its less-objectional verses:

Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan you very nice place
From Plains of Darashik to Northern fence of Jewtown
Kazakhstan friend of all except Uzbekistan
A very nosy people with bone in their brain

Kazakhstan industry best in world
We invented toffee and trouser pants
Kazakhstan's prostitutes cleanest in the region
Except of course for too many scars


Extras on the DVD include outtakes (some good, some really boring) and a collage film of Sacha in character enjoying a new-found American fame that was at near-mania levels back in 2006.
