Plot summary of Borat.
Borat is about a news reporter from Kazakhstan who is sent to document The United states with his assistant and producer Azamat . Borat is ignorant, racist and sexist though he is also often kind and friendly. He fears the Jews, Gypsies and and has many other nonsensical beliefs and ideologies. He also is against women's rights. It is never mentioned in the film of what religion he practices. The film revolves around the many misadventures of the two. The main point of the film is as a social experiment. The basis for the film is how Americans would react to somebody who embodies many of the stereotypes we place on middle eastern culture that aren't true While some the scenes are staged like any other film, many of them are improvised. The film is found footage style, minus the horror. When news arrives that Borat's wife who he was unhappy with had died, he proceeds to track down and marry TV actress Pamela Anderson after seeing an episode of Baywatch. He takes this journey against the wishes of Azamat. Along the journey Borat and Azamat have a falling out and he looses his plane tickets back to Kazakhstan. He then hitchhikes with some party goers in their RV to California to a Meet and Greet for Pamela Anderson. Thinking that he would take Pamela Anderson's virginity he is heartbroken to find out he has been featured in many risque works. Despite this he goes to the Meet and Greet anyways. When he finally meets her he tries to sexually assault her and he is thrown out of the convention. The film ends with Borat and Azamat friends again and Borat with his new wife, a prostitute he met in America.

Oh my god.....this movie sounds amazingly hilarious. Although the plot summary was not supposed to give away any spoilers or the ending on the movie, both of which your summary has included. None the less even with the ending spoiled i think actually seeing it will still be funny.
