Yes and no. There children are ‘comically’ shown in horrible conditions at the beginning of the film. Borat compares a woman’s ***hole to ‘that of a seven year old’. He also shows pictures of his son naked to a group of dinner guests.
If you are not into dark humor I’d pass for sure.

Attempted kidnapping of Pamela Anderson. Fails but he tries to put a sack over her head which may be troubling for some viewers.

Ironically the homophobia comes from an old white dude. He discourages Borat from kissing him in greeting saying to ‘stay away from those kids’

Borat makes very blatant jokes of this nature early and throughout the film. Pass if you’re sensitive to this.

This movie is seriously messed up. In the name of morbid humor they mock Jews pretty early into the film. There are many horrible jokes of this nature that I wasn’t amused by. If this bothers you I’d pass.

There’s a lengthy scene (and multiple points throughout) where Borat mocks women in basically every way possible. As well as pretty much every other minority. It’s all in the name of dark satire but I’d pass if you’re even slightly sensitive to this.

This movie is a very dark satire. VERY dark humor. They mention sex a lot and Borat is seen jacking of in public shortly after he comes to America.
