Critics Consensus

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm proves Sacha Baron Cohen's comedic creation remains a sharp tool for exposing the most misguided -- or utterly repugnant -- corners of American culture.

Cohen seems to understand that the film's shock value is automatically lower because of how deadened audiences have grown to political satire, so he relies more heavily on sitcom jokes to compensate and largely succeeds.

It's the opposite of what a Borat film should feel like: business as usual.

The risks that Baron Cohen took here - both artistic and personal - are admirable. And the pay-off is worth a lifetime of being subjected to the words "very nice!"

That’s what Borat is good at. These films tap into the trends and what’s happening right now.

In doing the same act once again, the film has to tiptoe a very fine line, one that doesn’t allow it the freedom to say as much as it probably should. But boy, is it funny. Maybe, for now, that’s enough.

A finely calibrated blend of lowbrow vulgarity and sharp social satire, 'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm' is a document — or mockument — of and for the moment.

Probably one of the most difficult feats to accomplish in all of cinema is the comedy sequel. There's so much bad that, honestly, to just be mediocre and then forgotten is a completely innocuous outcome. To make a sequel to one of the funniest movies of all time? I would not wish it on any man, woman or person. To try and recapture the magic of the original "Borat?" Why even try? Well, I gotta say — though, I'm late to the party on this one — I'm very happy I've finally seen this. I'm definitely gonna be in the camp that prefers the original to this one, but there's a ton to respect here. So much is attempted and to do that during one of the more tumultuous times in recent American memory? Very impressed. Maria Bakalova is nothing short of incredible in this, taking the potential Achilles heel of "and, introducing, XYZ-iconic-character's kid!" and turning it into one of the film's brightest spots. Would be lying if I said I wasn't curious to see how a third film would go, but I also understand the unsustainability/security-related risk of it all. They kind of flew as close to the sun as they could here without melting their proverbial wings. As it stands now, the duology at hand is beyond solid and this is easily one of the best comedy sequels we've seen in a long, long time.

I love how it offends and disgusts in equal measure. Puts the typical Hollywood comedy to shame. I’m happy watching another 10 Borat films.

Made me laugh at points but overall this sequel is not as good as the original. God only knows how there was Oscar nominations.
