    It was reviewed on radio, and from all accounts it not cutting edge or as risky , compared with the original.

    No just listened to a panel reviewing , think they were indicating it wasn't as fresh and new as the first one , I did start with "it was reviewed" ?

    As Mark Kermode pointed out it's difficult to be edgy and expose people like the first Borat film did, when the President brags about sexually assaulting women and is a willful racist and people still voted him in.

    Maybe satire would be exposing a decent politician.

    You are right. Anyone high profile getting caught in Borat2 gets what's coming given the history. Still Rudi's I was just tucking in my shirt should go down as one of the decade's great euphemisms!

    I hope someone told them it was a sequel

    Thought this was great. Reminded me of the better bits of This is America and the actress playing his daughter is fantastic. Worth a watch I would say.

    It was ok. Some funny moments.Some flat ones. The formula seems tired now.

    Half way though and think this sums it up perfectly. I think Borat 1 was so brilliant this makes number 2 look even worse.

    I didn’t like Bruno when it first came out. I watched it again the other night and it’s seriously funny, I was creasing.

    I’ve not heard good things about Borat 2.

    Ali G was funny for about 10 mins but now all of his characters seem well dated.

    I watched this last night, and it had it's moments, but it also appeared to be dated already. The last few years have showed us the depths to which America can sink, and the shock effect that Cohen relies upon is greatly diminished by that knowledge.
    In a nutshell, it's nowhere near as outrageous or as funny as the original Borat film, and that's mainly because A, we've seen it all before, and B, times and attitudes have changed.

    I enjoyed it but your points are well made.

    I think the depths of depravity the US has sunk to negates the shock factor of such comedy.

    Who is America was better that Borat 2.

    I'd like to see Cohen create a new character and do something in the UK.

    I enjoyed it, it was a bit hit and miss but there were some laugh out loud moments. The interview with Giuliana at the end was uncomfortable viewing, I know it was quite a set up but what was he thinking!

    I've only watched it up to the deb's ball (a very crass caper indeed) and the rest has been a re-hash of what has gone before.
