Review of Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2020) by Theredsky — 26 Oct 2020

A great sequel to an already excellent movie. Borat 2 is a great follow up to one of my favorite comedies of all time. Obviously, Sachs Baron Cohen is hilarious as Borat but I was surprised at how great of a job newcomer Maria Bakalova did as Borat’s daughter.

She is essentially the heart and soul of the film and did an excellent job playing off of Borat. The film’s writing is once again excellent at showing off Cohen’s comedic talents and showing the state of the United States in 2020.

The film’s story is excellent and I was incredibly impressed at how they incorporated the Covid-19 pandemic into the film. Quarantine started during the making of this film and they quickly rewrote the script and incredibly and expertly wove the pandemic into the story.

It was seamless and felt like something they had planned from day 1. Something great that Borat 2 does is show the current state of the United States. They are a lot of jabs at the Trump administration which could/will turn some people off from the film but it’s hilarious and thought provoking none the less.

There is a moment towards the end of the film with a certain politician that’s horrible. Not that the film is horrible but what he does is horrible. Since this is a sequel to Borat, it has to be funny and it was definitely funny.

I found myself laughing at a lot of moments in the film although I prefer the first film’s jokes over this one. I really didn’t have a lot of issues other than the occasional slow bit here and there.

Go check this out when you can but if you consider yourself right leaning, you might not get as much enjoyment out of it as others would.
