Borat 2

[kevinon]

Thanks for the tip to watch it - Borat 1 was brilliant; and watching it in a cinema I had 'uncontrollable laughter' and embarrassment that I was laughing at 'wrong' stuff.

For Borat 2 I had lower expectations; we know the schtick. And it's impossible to satirise the Trump cultists.

But it was still a good way to spend no money and have some laughs for 90 mins.

Do some research, FFS, it's just this kind of lazy ignorance that is so damaging.

It appears an obvious attempt to mislead. Hopefully, anyone interested will read the whole story.

Haha, nice one.

My wife and I laughed/cringed all the way throughout, we enjoyed it for what it was, some people on here are overthinking the film.

And the plastic surgeon perving over the daughter in front of her dad was weird cringe.

Her father and a camerman...

Some people on here are underthinking the film.

Worth it just to watch Rudi end his career in a flurry of 'equipment removal'. I've never heard it called that before.

Otherwise just the usual cheap laughs you expect from Cohen. Well worth not paying for.

Just finished and it certainly made me smile. I emailed an American friend and he replied he 100% wouldn’t watch it as he hated the first one.
A bit to sophisticated for their tastes?

Well surprise, surprise, I’ve just had this message from my American friend in the States


Just finished the Borat sequel... I was wrong. While I still very much hate that annoying character and find almost none of what he does as Borat funny in anyway, watching him make those clowns look as dumb as they are was so damn satisfying. I did like his daughter a lot and the covid twist was pretty good too. Good stuff.


A new, almost, convert.

Although sadly one of the few lines that didn't feel rather scripted...
...enjoyed it overall, though; a cheesy "plot" but done well enough to keep me watching.

An interesting discussion here -

Really enjoyed it.

a) finding an actress to pull that off so well, in many situations where they literally only have one shot at it, hugely impressive

b) seeing it through during a pandemic, again impressive

c) the baby scene with the pastor, comedy gold

I think I'm more impressed with how they got it made than the film itself. How the hell do you both end up with Giulliani in a hotel room (during a pandemic!)?

If you think you'd get away with walsing into a synagogue looking like that. Contrived, in my opinion. And not even slightly funny.

It wasn't just the father and daughter in the room. Was also a cameraman.

"Their tastes"?

Are you suggesting all the 300 million people living across a huge country all have the same taste...

Are you Patrick? “You bet your ass I am”?

Fertility dance was something else.

Easy to miss, but during that fertility dance bit the Pence replica father was properly getting it in the ear from his daughter, had me in hysterics.

Her reaction was priceless, you can't script that stuff.

I feel sorry for the people who get duped into being in the film
