“Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” – Everyone will find something offensive about “Borat,” which spins off Sacha Baron Cohen’s character from “Da Ali G Show,” but there’s no denying his commitment in playing this culturally clueless eastern European reporter. Borat travels across America exposing people’s less-admirable qualities through their reactions to a decidedly non-cultured foreigner. Cohen goes to incredible lengths for laughs, including speaking in gibberish that convincingly stands in for a foreign language and taking a naked wrestling match with his producer into the shocked throngs at a convention hall.
