Very Nice… a sequel

He’s back and almost nicer than ever, but nothing can live up to the original Borat move.

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, is Sascha Baron Cohen’s way of preparing the Americans for their upcoming elections.

The mockumentary movie once again explores various political organisations and politicians to push them into a sticky corner. From racist songs to themes of paedophilia, the movie has it all, but you know – as a joke.

This is the movie we didn’t know we needed, but it definitely shines a lot of light on American politics, policies and the Covid-19 pandemic. Cohen goes to extreme measures to expose those in the high tower.

The movie might not live up to its predecessor, but it surely gives us new memorable Borat moments. I don’t want to give away too much, but I spent most of the movie laughing, which is good thing.

We didn’t really get a lot of movies this year and that’s what makes Borat Subsequent Moviefilm special. It gives us a break from the mess that’s all around us. It gives us time to reflect on life and what still makes it kind of beautiful.

This might not be a movie for everyone, because many will be offended by the lengths, Cohen goes. Some scenes might make you cringe will others will make you think, “wtf is wrong with this guy?” All in all, it is fairly entertaining.

 

My Verdict

 

Do not watch this movie if you are easily offended. It definitely isn’t for everyone, while some might find certain scenes funny, others will find it offensive. I personally love the movie, but its predecessor was much better. If you liked the first movie, then you might be interested in checking out this one as well.

 

My Rating: 7.5 out 10 – Really Good
