Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (2020)

More outrageous cringing as Borat, in new disguises, tricks politicians and others into saying and doing regrettable things. This is mostly just for fans of creator Sacha Baron Cohen's over-the-top, profane humor, and is a sequel to Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006). 24 year old Maria Bakalova is fully up to the task of committing to play Borat's crazed daughter. Tom Hanks, Mike Pence, and Rudy Giuliani are among the celebrities on screen.

Eight writers may be a new record for a screenplay, but, up to now, I haven't been counting. The director is Jason Woliner, making his feature debut after a number of shorts and TV episodes. His headshot on imdb is of a young boy. 

Fun fact: when Borat is supposedly speaking in the Kazakh language, it's actually Hebrew, according to this article. When his daughter speaks, it's her native Bulgarian, and the Kazakh premier speaks his native Romanian, proving that American audiences (present company included) don't know languages.

As usual, Sacha's brother Erran Baron Cohen provides the score, and here's his website, from which you can stream a number of his tracks.

Both Cohens were last blogged for The Brothers Grimsby. This is Bakalova's American film debut and she now has three projects in progress.

Rotten Tomatoes' critics, averaging 86%, are not as put off as its audiences at 67.

We streamed this on Amazon Prime on November 10.
