Borat returns from Kazakhstan to America intent on giving his fifteen year old daughter to the vice president. While on his mission, Borat also learns more about the American culture, the COVID-19 pandemic and political elections. Spoof documentary sequel, starring Sacha Baron Cohen
Master of audacity Sacha Baron Cohen returns with a sequel to the original 2006 Borat movie, and it is mostly a rerun of previous gags, right down to the "mankini". This time, instead of embarking on a quest to find Pamela Anderson, the gormless Kazakh TV journalist is in America to gift Vice President Mike Pence with Johnny the Monkey - the country's "Minister of Culture and number one porno star". En route, Borat talks (again) to real-life Americans, who (again) come across as vastly likeable and accommodating, smiling gamely as Borat's requests become ever-more shocking. The focus on "McDonald" Trump's administration, and the arrival of Covid-19 halfway through shooting, will date this outing a lot faster than the original film, but there are some outrageously funny set pieces, plus a brilliantly versatile turn by Bulgarian actor Maria Bakalova as Borat's needy daughter. As for the jokes about Kazakhstan - the country complained that the first movie was "incompatible with the ethics and civilised behaviour of Kazakhstan's people" - Baron Cohen has responded by simply doubling down.
