Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (2020)

An older, less funny Cohen with a political agenda

[2/10 · 24 October 2020]

Yawn....if you're going to make a movie involving politics you at least need to poke fun at both sides (see the Hunt). Beyond that though, the humor Borat inspired worked because his character was so young and naive in the first one. With a much older Cohen, it's much harder to pull off this role and get the same laughs. This is just the norm, Jim Carey can no longer pull off his Dumb and Dumber character as we saw. Chevy Chase lost all his humor around 40-50. Cohen must be hard up for money to go back to the Borat well.
