Sacha Baron Cohen (“Borat”, “The Dictator”) is back as Borat in this surprisingly good sequel. The first film caused a real stir when it was released and I’m sure this new one will shock plenty of people too. To me, the first film was far too vulgar but this time, it’s more about being politically offensive. I found this one to be far funnier than the original.

Years after his first film made Kazakhstan the laughingstock of the world, Borat is once again sent to America. This time, he is to deliver a porno star monkey to Vice President Mike Pence. However, when the monkey dies, he’s forced to try and give the politician his daughter (Maria Bakalova). However, they have to deal with the complexities of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Borat has become an iconic comedy character and people love to quote his catchphrases. Here, we get to see him do more outrageous activities such as quarantining with two redneck conspiracy theorists. Maria Bakalova is great as Borat’s daughter, Tutar. The two have terrific comedic chemistry. The sequences involving Mike Pence and Rudi Giuliani are not so good as they feel very forced and a lot of work clearly had to go into the editing to make something out of nothing.

“Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm” touches on mass shootings, anti-Semitism, conspiracy theories, the Coronavirus, paedophilia, sexism, white supremacy, sexual abuse and so many other taboo subjects. However, parts of the movie are really funny. You won’t believe some of the hilarious reactions of the real people Borat pranks throughout the movie. If you liked the first one, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this one too. However, for those that thought the first one was too vulgar, this one contains less nudity and perverse content but more politically incorrectness. I’m also impressed how the makers were able to adapt the film due to Coronavirus pandemic.
