Borat returns and his aim is quite clear. This movie is decidedly lampooning the American right wing and the political shift in the U. S. This was going to ruffle feathers of course, but so did the original. This movie does have some bite but Cohen ties the noose and leads people to the gallows but he lets them do the dirty work by just flapping their gums. This doesn't work every time and when Subsequent Moviefilm falls flat, there are giant awkward moments that drag on. But he walks the line of making fun without directly insulting, some people will be offended and if you feel that way after watching this film, you're entitled to that opinion. But Cohen's slant worked more for me than it didn't.

One of the things that caught me off guard about Borat's second adventure was that there was more tact in the plotting of narrative. The movie acknowledges Borat's impact on pop culture and despite plenty of early insults towards Tutar for her gender, there's an undercurrent about feminism and equality. Its not expertly woven into the plot but I appreciated its inclusion and I tip my cap to the writers for not choosing to go for the low hanging fruit (at least some of the time).

I think Cohen's a talented actor and comedian, he just doesn't function in any production or work with any type of material. He has more vigour in his own productions and while he doesn't land every shot he takes, he still makes contact more often than he doesn't. I also think he has good chemistry with Maria Bakalova who was quite the find as Borat's daughter Tutar. This is a breakout kind of performance, I'm not saying she's the next Emma Stone or Jennifer Lawrence but she somehow is able to keep up with Cohen and they make a consistently funny comedic team.

Sacha Baron Cohen is a force of nature as this character. I don't know if he really knows what's tasteful or not, he just lumbers through the scene and like a wrecking ball, he knocks down everything. Its all up to what's funny for you and what's going to offend you. I was laughing hard during certain scenes of this movie and cringing at others. But I do believe this movie was better than it had any right to be, I was fearful that Baron Cohen was just finally cashing in on what was left of Borat's popularity. He proved me wrong though and he deserves credit for putting together a good sequel. I don't know if I'd recommend making a 3rd one, I'd let it lie here. Check this out if you enjoyed the first one or didn't get absolutely sick of Borat's schtick from the first one.

I would say the first movie was funnier but that this one does a good job at continuing that style of humour. Borat's daughter really took the craziness level up a notch. She's totally uninhibited and basically insane, like her father. She really went "there" - held nothing back and as a result we got some pretty great scenes. The two of them - Borat and daughter - make a really compelling duo. I'd say the movie loses its steam around the last fourth. The pace is slower and my attention span waned. There were many great moments, notably the baby scene, the tech guru scene and the women's meeting. For some reason, and maybe because in general humour is a lot more crude these days, that the first Borat movie was more risque for its time and did a better job at depicting middle America. However, I wouldn't give this a pass as I do think there are several moments that make this a worthwhile watch.

Enjoyed... I thoroughly enjoyed this one... It's a real comedy... Maria plays the role of the daughter and has performed an amazing act... She was the energy of the movie.
