Borat Subsequent Moviefilm :
Sacha Baron Cohen's "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" is a deliciously unstable comedy. This new installment in the misadventures of Cohen's ignorant yet fearless Kazakhstani journalist Borat Sagdiyev is filled with risqué (and just plain risky) jokes. Some land. Others explode in the film's own face like a baggy-pants comedian's prop cigar. That's all true to the spirit of Borat, for better and worse. Even gags that leave a troubling afterimage fit the star's wise-ass, id-monster persona. You can't open a comedic Pandora's box and expect the results to be orderly and reassuring.
The story begins with Borat's release from prison, where he spent
14 years atoning for his shenanigans in the previous film, "Borat:
Cultural Learnings of American to Make Benefit Glorious Nation of
Kazakhstan." Borat is blamed for the country's political and
financial collapse (file footage shows a stockbroker trying to kill
himself by jumping from the country's tallest skyscraper, a
second-floor office in a muddy village). Like a noncombatant pervert
cousin of John Rambo, Borat is given a mission that will redeem and
pardon him if it succeeds: he must journey to the United States in
order to...
Actually, hold on. We shouldn't get into that, because the described mission is wild and ludicrous and (Rambo-style) is immediately compromised. Let's just say that it involves a monkey (actually a chimpanzee), and that when it doesn't work out, Borat tries to mend fences between Kazakhstan and the United States by offering his only daughter, Tutar (Irina Nowak), as a prize to "Vice Premiere" Mike Pence, whose aversion to spending unsupervised time alone with women is chalked up to his voracious sexual appetite.
