The movie, “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Nation of Kazakhstan,” will either have you laughing outrageously loud, or have you cringing at the crude and offensive material.

I was laughing outrageously loud.

“Borat,” which opens in theaters Friday, Nov. 3 stars Sacha Boran Cohen, who first caught audience’s attention in his role as Jean Girad, the French opponent to Will Ferrell in the comedy, “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.”

In his latest film, Cohen plays Borat Sagdiyev, a Kazakhstani reporter who travels across America, filming a documentary. Along the way he learns about proper dinner etiquette, how to make American jokes, getting drunk with fraternity brothers and Pamela Anderson.

After watching one episode of Baywatch, Borat hits the road to California with his partner, Azamat Bagatov, played by Ken Davitian. In a beat up ice cream truck and a bear in the back for protection, the two travel the country to find Anderson and make her Borat’s wife.

Borat is a lovable doofus whose political incorrectness and crude humor make for side-splitting scenes of the film. Highlights include when Borat is being trained in American humor and doesn’t seem to get the joke. Also, when he shows up at a fancy dinner gathering and is the disastrous guest you would never want in your home.

His naivety makes his encounters hilarious as he interacts with real people. He is not used to using the toilet, isn’t afraid of gangs from the ghetto and participates in a gay parade.

His journey through America documents these encounters and many more that will have audience members laughing hysterically.

The film is a mockumentary, but looks like the real thing. With Kazakhstan and English subtitles, actors who look like real people and a camera crew, audience members almost feel as if they are watching a documentary. The humor and sometimes far-fetched situations give the documentary feel away though, and put you right back into a Hollywood film.

Cohen starred, produced and co-wrote the 84-minute film.

The film is rated R, and rightly so. It is extremely offensive to women, African Americans, Jews, Christians and many more. It has crude jokes, foul language, repulsive nudity of male genitalia and masturbation.

If you are not easily offended and have laughed at the trailer for this movie, you will love it. It is a hilarious comedy that will have you rolling with laughter non-stop throughout the film.
