Decided to watch this today in light of the news and it was... fine? No where near as funny as the first one, and most of the non-reality stuff felt really forced (it might have been funny to briefly imply that Borat started Covid but dragging it out for several minutes killed it). It definitely had its moments - the QAnon lodge was great - but overall it just felt a bit desperate, like most sequels to comedy movies made over a decade after the fact. And I'm really torn on the decision to end it on a 'Remember to vote' card - I get why they did it but it makes it feel less like a movie to be watched for years to come and more like an extended YouTube video to be forgotten after this particular moment in time. Maria Bakalova did a really great job though, better than SBC in some parts (I know a lot of time has passed but his Borat impression is well below average). e: One thing I liked is that the little content warning includes 'blackface' which had me worried, but it's just the Trudeau photo. stev fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Nov 8, 2020 |
