It was alright. Definitely not as good as the first for me, and I agree that there was too much plotline tying skits together rather than the opposite. It also feels a lot less perennial than Borat 1 for some reason, but it's interesting because it gives the movie a uniqueness compared to the original. I didn't like that there was seemingly less improv/raw trolling, but the movie makes it clear it's because Borat is too recognizable. It makes sense that they had to use the disguises but I prefer just Borat as Borat.

That being said, Tutar was excellent. She felt like the star of the show and her synergy with SBC helps sell her character - not to a creepy old debutant dad thankfully - as cut from the same cloth as Borat. I missed Azamat especially because he's still hilarious in Cobra Kai ("Thank you very much but I can scratch my own balls!") but him as Head Chair was fantastic, and the movie would have been too cluttered if he had to steal some of Tutar's screentime.

I really think a straight-up Tutar movie would have been preferable, though obviously far less marketable. I liked this one but it'll be harder to rewatch it because I just want this year done and over with culturally.
