Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

THE GIST: Jealous of the cozy relationships between Trump and the world's most famous despots, Kazakhstan's leader sends Borat back to America to deliver a gift that will ingratiate him to the famously fatuous and narcissistic American President.

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan has been dismissed by many as inane, but I found it to have an intriguing premise that basically justifies its existence, unlike many sequels, especially for its timeliness, coming just before the presidential elections of 2020.

I'm not alone in this either, given that the movie won a Best Picture and Best Lead Actor (for Sacha Baron Cohen) Golden Globe and garnered a nomination for Lead Actress (for Maria Bakalova) as well. Furthermore, the film is up for Best Supporting Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay Oscars as well!

The usual mix of silly gags are interspersed with a good dose of hard hitting parody and crude social commentary that are never misplaced.

Cohen does a great job in the role of Borat, but it's Bakalova who's a revelation. It's almost incredible to think of the pranks these two actors and the producers have been able to pull off!!

THE BOTTOM LINE: If you liked the first Borat, then definitely check out the sequel. I found it to be even funnier than the first!
