I really hope it will be good and not a left propaganda piece.

After Sacha's last outing, I have some doubts but I really want to enjoy it.

In a discussion about a movie trailer: 'GRRR I HAATE THE LEFT'
Did I say that? Lmao. Who is America was a hit piece on Republican reps and it's obvious Trump and Pence will be key here.

The movie is political.

First I was like

Then I see this and I'm like, awwwwwww man not another hater. :messenger_unamused:
About 10 months ago I got chastised for saying I saw Borat in theaters. Got some random label put on me that they never explained(probably made no sense anyways). Last thing I saw of this guy was Bruno(which was alright but not nearly as funny to me at the time as Borat). The Ali G stuff he did was hilarious too. I haven't really followed him since Bruno and he seemed to have fallen into obscurity since then with the exception of The Dictator.

He did "Who is America" on Showtime. It was hit or miss, but there were some genuinely good stuff, like the Mosque in Arizona and the self defense training bits.



Fun fact, this segment was co-written with Nathan Fielder (from Nathan for You).

The dictator was such a disappointment, I went in thinking it was going to be like Borat.

When the movie started I thought he was just doing a skit and then it would get into the live action comedy stuff, but it kept going and going and then I realized he made a scripted comedy 😞

I enjoyed Bruno more than I thought I would

Sacha may go for the low hanging fruit some times, but he still does it in a most clever way

yeh i didnt like bruno as much for some reason before, but now i watch it i almost prefer it more than borat. both films, and their (and the ali g) tv 'sketches' before are hilarious. grace randolph reviewed it and its ehhh, we'll see.

the ali g movie is interesting, it plays out like a silly stoner film like kevin & perry go large crossed with the inbetweeners. its not the same format, and thus not as interesting - but i still enjoyed it for what it was; though it seems everyone despises it lol

I enjoy it a lot. It has one of the silliest, funniest shit ever in the plan sketch:

I really liked the first movie. Very funny. I like.

However imo it's the only thing I like by Sasha Baron Cohen. Everything else he does is mediocre at best.

His very early Ali G stuff he did before he got his own show was comedy gold. It might be a product of its time but when I saw it I didn't know who he was. It was a video of all his skits and all of us that were watching it were in hysterics to the point we had to stop the video because we were missing it. I need to watch it again, it's been 20 years.

The first time i saw borat was in the ali g show..is the same actor?


DUDE

THE ENTIRE Ali G Show is on YouTube

Borat and Bruno and Ali G are all characters (performed by Cohen) that are in the Ali G show. The whole series is gold



Ali G talking to Buzz Aldrin about landing on the Sun in Winter, when it's cold; and calling him Buzz Lightyear, and discussing what makes a joke are so fucking funny

movie was missing the clever commentary from the first one...i know most of it was probably done in the middle of covid but some parts were just really flat and missing that extra flair
also way to much talking in their language

The Daughter was actually better than Borat i thought but the rest you could tell were paid actors...the first movie never really felt like that

Ali G rulez. That and the Chapelle DVD were must owns for any early 2000s weed dealer.

First Borat was good. Dictator was meh.

Not sure I will watch this since the first Borat was very anti right wing and it’s election season and not 2004 anymore but 2020z Tbh hearing some British jackass make fun of Americans is not my idea of a good time right now.

Movie made me laugh quite a few times, the fertility dance being one. Enjoyed it but can't compare it to the first film as I haven't seen it in 14 years.

Need to find someone's Amazon Prime to watch this. Loved the 1st movie, but I didn't find the trailer to this one as funny

I recently re watched the first one so I could compare it to this one, I'm half way through now and it's really not as good. Much less funny. Ah well.

I loved it.
The Daughter was just as great and she didn't feel shoe-horned in just to score woke points, which was one of my biggest worries. But it's a fun little father daughter bonding trip done well and most importantly is funny.
Surprisingly, one of my favourite bits was when he was talking to the old Jewish ladies. Sudden out of nowhere wholesome.

Would recommend.
