[Sacha’s/Borat’s daughter] Tutar is the film’s secret weapon. Subsequent Moviefilm acknowledges that due to Borat’s popularity, he can no longer go around unrecognized, so Tutar becomes the vehicle for some of the film’s greatest gags or she works as a scene partner while Borat is in disguise. The Catch-22 is that if you only sent out Tutar on her own, people would call it a Borat ripoff, so you need to keep making Borat part of the story.

Obviously, if you didn’t like the first Borat , there’s nothing here for you, and I imagine we’ll have to deal with the same tedious conversations from 2006 like how unfair Cohen is being and how dare he show a lack of tolerance to the intolerant. Some will clutch their pearls at how dark some of the comedy can go, and others will bemoan the crassness of some of the jokes. Subsequent Moviefilm is not for them, and since it’s a sequel, people should definitely know better by now.

For those who still love the original Borat , Subsequent Moviefilm does a fine job of capturing what made Cohen’s comedy so exciting and outrageous in the first place. The film’s climax is definitely going to get people talking, but I hope it doesn’t overshadow some A+ comedy that had me crying from laughing so hard. It’s not a great success, but it’s a pretty good success.

Rating: B

RiskyFlush · October 23, 2020, 4:04am

RiskyFlush · October 23, 2020, 4:05am

There’s a pretty good new Chelsea Handler standup special on HBO Max

Anyone else getting their Quibi binge watches in before they shut us down? Feels like Black Friday when I was still logged in and could keep playing as long as I didn’t get signed out :)

I’m watching it now (IM SORRY) and I’m laughing harder than I’ve laughed in a long, long time about 30 minutes in at the Georgia Debutante Ball

Definitely watching tomorrow night for reactions though

Marksman · October 23, 2020, 5:44am

I held off. I started watching new season of Fargo but that takes too much attention, so started binging Brooklyn 99 for who knows what reason.

Marksman · October 23, 2020, 5:46am

They said 23rd and it was clearly released on 22nd everywhere in the US. So not your fault.

clovis8 · October 23, 2020, 6:18pm

How does this work? We all push play at same time then chat in here?

Trolly · October 23, 2020, 6:22pm

Exactly

If we were smart, someone would set up a discord channel

WichitaDM · October 23, 2020, 6:25pm

I was just joking and waited for tonight. I didn’t realize it was coming out last night either.

RiskyFlush · October 23, 2020, 6:36pm

I was just joking too. I feign outrage so I can feel like I belong here :P
