The mayor of the US was definitely adjusting a boner. Too old to do it in one swipe.

I love that the point of this is that the current U.S. is worse than Borats fictional character.

I hated it. I was deciding whether to place it above or below Zoolander 2 while I was watching it, and by the end it was definitely below.

I have never found Sacha Baron Cohen funny with the exception of Borat 1, which is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I remember him making up some bullshit about how he created Borat as a way to expose the anti-Semitism in America, which is obviously him just trying to pretend that he is a superior for making money off of Jew jokes while admonishing the people who give him money for his Jew jokes. I think that everything he has ever done is mean spirited, and he happened to fluke on Borat 1 by accidentally making a character so innocent and charming that the Borat character was able to defeat Sacha's malicious intentions for one movie. A mistake that Sacha Baron Cohen corrected with Borat 2.

I also found it tiresome that he went the late night talk show route of pointing to Republicans to get the mandatory laughter. Combine that with the "look at these current events" cringefest at the end with mansplaining, and the Karens, and other low-hanging fruit; and I feel like I was stuck on my worst friend's facebook page for two hours.

Overall, I didn't feel like I was watching Borat the character. I felt like I was watching Sacha Baron Cohen himself proudly plan his hilarious scheme to fart on his sister like a kid who was whispering too loud. And after he had farted on his sister, I had to watch him again proudly come up with his next plan of... farting on his sister.

I will end this review with the only line that got a laugh out of me.
the perverts have to be medical personnel

Sacha Baron Cohen is a Jew that is against Zionism that wrote his Cambridge thesis on the American Civil Rights movement, as far as your ideas of his goals are.

Also, the Borat character existed like 10 years before the movie and did like 30 setups as just that character before the movie.

Yeah I actually thought this one was a lot better than the first. I love SBC but have always thought Borat and Bruno were his weakest characters.

Too bad da Ali G movie inexplicably sucks

Edit: also, SBC kills it as Abbie Hoffman in Trial of the Chicago 7 (the new Sorkin movie on Netflix)

That's a really odd opinion, Borat and Bruno are the absolute best at exposing people being horribly racist/homophobic/vapid, while Ali G just trolls people, which isn't as funny. Even in trolling, Borat generally does it better than Ali G. His best ever character is the Assad guy, just due to accomplishing the absolute worst moment of exposure to the point the Republican Rep had to resign.

Ali G movie is okay enough - it got Tywin Lannister to dance in a leotard so there's that.

I'd say Bruno was a better movie than Borat because he did actual more setups. I just think Borat was peoples first experience with him, and in both, I was looking for him screwing with people and not the plot/character.
