Fun way to spend 90 minutes

Soundtrack is aces

Now what

eyebooger · October 24, 2020, 2:32am

That was great.

I actually think the Giuliani stuff was the weakest part.

I mean he got the dude to almost take his dick out, you guys have high standards!

Tych · October 24, 2020, 2:33am

Not bad, seems the lols slowed after the ball. Happy I watched it pre Nov 3.

When we got to the Hay House, we had to turn in our cell phones — sending us into cold sweats

LOL

Oh shit

I have no real problem with Borat getting a laugh at our expense. I find some of his stuff pretty funny. I will laugh a lot harder if we get the last laugh on Nov. 3.

How do we celebrate Jeanise Jones?

It started great and went a bit downhill. Overall a great movie, but the flat finish makes you forget the brilliant start

Tych · October 24, 2020, 2:47am

Same, started with the same energy as the original then tried to become a film? I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t awkward enough.

Tych · October 24, 2020, 2:48am

The clear protagonist.

smrk4 · October 24, 2020, 2:53am

Ok I got a little enthusiastic saying it was better than the first, but I’d have watch the first one again because a part from locking his cousin in a cage and the fat naked dude, I don’t remember the bits.

Given how popular Borat got, to pull off something close to the first is pretty impressive, and has any high profile guy been pranked worse than about to get their fishing pole out in all of Cohen history?

8.75/10

I think they kind of explain that in the first 10 minutes when he arrived in the US. Borat is too famous to legitimately trick people like they did in the first film. It’s why almost all the bits doing that were his daughter.

Marksman · October 24, 2020, 3:02am

Apparently Borat’s daughter got close to the president in the White House and even shook Don Jr.’s hand.

Canada · October 24, 2020, 3:03am

Watched it tonight and thought it was fantastic. Had no idea how they’d pull this off without it seeming dated and cheesy and racist and holy shit it delivered. Daughter obviously a breakout performance.

RiskyFlush:

[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

So what’s the cover for having cameras in the bits with the real people like the pastor or the plastic surgeon?

ThisGuy · October 24, 2020, 3:22am

It is impressive. I’m glad he did it and there were some really hilarious scenes and a lot of heart in this one. But my god the first Borat was the funniest thing I’d ever seen. I was sore from laughing.
