There are multiple camera angles in each and every scene while never explaining why a camera would be around so doesn't that kind of answer your question.

The Melania in for Cinderella was hilarious.

The debutant smacking her dad and calling him fricking disgusting was always funny/creepy at the same time.

In the first movie, the Pamela Anderson scene was the most obvious.

I mean he could've gotten shot; that all had to be planned and orchestrated for safety reasons.

This might be the best movie I’ve ever watched.

Absolutely hilarious!

12/10 would recommend.

Probably going to watch it a few more times tonight.

Pretty damn funny. I think a lot if people who take politics ultra seriously will be ultra sensitive to it. From the womens center to the outdoor rally to the Rudy scene.

I think I laughed most during the scene at the house. When the guys were talking about Hillary drinking blood. Then later, Borat describes an equally absurd situation and they say "naw, that's a conspiracy theory"

When he's on stage at the concert making up a damn country song and getting them to condemn anything and everything he says, that was amazing

I know the cage fight he got in on Bruno wasn’t staged (save for Cohen and his gay lover). My parents had a lake house in Arkansas and it made the paper that there was a near riot over a guy named “Straight Dave” at a pro-wrestling arena in Fort Smith with no other context in the article. It was front page in the local paper.

There were some great laugh out loud scenes.

It kind of drug a bit when they were moving the "plot" along. But it was still cringe worthy funny.

There was no way it was going to live up to the first one, but still I was dying laughing throughout it. The debutante scene was pretty uncomfortable. Funniest scene was the women’s republicans meeting.

The Giuliani scene was overblown. Pretty embarrassing for him, but that’s about it.

Yeah, it had its moments, but 2006 Borat blows this one out of the water.

Most of it felt like George Bush IQ jokes in 2007.

I think Borat is one of the funniest films ever made. I saw it the day after it came out in a packed theatre next to the University of South Carolina, and I was one of the only ones still laughing after the RV scene.

While I thought Borat 2 was pretty funny, I just couldn’t get over how obvious the editing was. Anytime someone gave a “fricked up” answer to one of Borat or Tutur’s fricked up questions, it was clearly edited that way. It was never a continuous shot. At least it didn’t seem that way in the first Borat.

Like the debutante scene or the farming equipment dude scene. You never actually see them give those answers in a continuous sequence. It’s always broken up, as if their answers to other questions are being used for the fricked up stuff.

I still liked it. This one was obviously meant to send a political message rather than a societal critique, so I’m not upset or anything. It was just funny commentary on 2020.

First 20 minutes with the daughter are boring.

Also felt like this movie is 4 years too late. The jokes are stale at this point. The Trump jokes are old.

Also, unlike the first movie which passed as a gotcha mockumentary this just seems like a regular scripted movie.

You can't go home again.

The two QAnon guys were funny. Also - how creepy was that plastic surgeon?


I thought it fell a little bit flat in that the material was kinda late by this point
