Unspeakably gross, juvenile and containing something sure to offend just about everybody, it’s also sort of sweet. Shot in secret before and during the pandemic, it finds our disgraced former reporter stumbling undercover around CPAC, synagogues and anti-mask rallies. (Or you could just look outside.) It turns out that “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” is just the movie for a country sickened by plague and politics. (“Borat” belongs next to “The Big Lebowski” on a list of wonderful movies with the most annoying fans imaginable.) Besides, Baron Cohen has never been able to capture that same spark again, with duds like “Bruno” and “The Dictator” unable to sustain the hidden camera antics, though I will confess a soft spot for his 2016 bomb “The Brothers Grimsby,” an astoundingly vulgar espionage adventure in which the happily-ever-after ending included Donald Trump accidentally being infected with AIDS.īut these are anything but normal times, as that last sentence about a certain someone catching a contagious virus may have reminded you. Like Mike Myers’ Austin Powers before, Sacha Baron Cohen’s hirsute, blissfully bigoted journalist is the kind of sublime comic creation that was ruined by your least amusing friends imitating him so badly and so often you probably forgot why you ever found him funny in the first place. In normal times, a 14-year-later sequel to a lightning-in-a-bottle pop culture phenomenon like “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” would reek of desperation.
