I absolutely loved the original Borat. Must've saw it a hundred times in the 00's and quoted it with friends. It was funny and it was real satire. Where as this new Borat? Seems totally fake.
How so? The most real scene is when he is instantly recognized by everyone on the street. That just shows how doomed this movie was from the beginning. From the Red Neck scene that plays out by what I can only assume were actors. To how few people Borat is able to interact with throughout this movie. Seriously is not even remotely close to the original! If there were a deleted scenes to this movie, I can only imagine how many times he was found out.
The worst part of this movie wasn't the fact it actually felt fake though. It was how anti Republican it was. It was the main theme of this entire movie and was brutally obvious. While the original Borat did mix some anti George Bush politics into it, it was mostly a satire and about punking honest Americans with a strange foreign man and his accent. This? It wreaks of particionship! It was way too much and obvious. From the Mike Pence rally where he shows up as a clansman to the tricking of Rudy Giuliani into an interview and then Borats "daughter" untucks his shirt and they manipulate it to look like he is doing something wrong with a "15 year old girl" who is actually 24! To quote Joe Biden "Common man!" It was relentless and made the movie boring. Simply put there was way too much political nonsense added to this movie.
So if you enjoy watching Democrat Propaganda disguised as comedy? This movie is for you. If you don't because either you're a Republican OR you don't care whatsoever about USA politics. This movie is extremely boring with a few chuckles here and there but ultimately not very good. Skip it and watch the original. Its still funny.
I give this a 1 star simply because this won't age well and the rewatchability is non-existent. Unlike the original.
