Borat 2 slammed by anti-abortion charity for baby gag
The comedy character, played by actor Sacha Baron Cohen, sees his on-screen daughter scoff a cupcake which has an edible model baby on top. The pair then visit Carolina Women's Health Center in the US and discuss "taking the baby out" with a shocked pro-life pastor. The controversial "I swallowed the baby" clip in Borat 2 was posted online earlier this week amassing tens of thousands of viewers ahead of the movie's big release on Amazon Prime Video tomorrow (FRI).
Nadeem Badshah and Sasha Morris, Daily Star, 22nd October 2020Borat Subsequent Moviefilm review
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm may not contain all of the shock and awe of the original, since exposing racists has sadly sort of become commonplace, but it still contains an avalanche of awkward, anxiety-cranking moments that'll have you laughing while watching through your fingers like you would a horror movie. And the film's fantastic find, Maria Bakalova, Sacha Baron Cohen's on-screen equal, is who, and what, most people will be talking about in the wake of this.
Matt Fowler, IGN, 21st October 2020Borat review: if you love the 1st movie you'll love it
If you thought it crass, vulgar and unutterably puerile, well - this one is a fair bit worse.
Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 21st October 2020Borat 2 review
The Borat follow-up mocks legacy sequels while shining a light on the cultural consequences of America's unchecked bigotry.
Scott Mendelson, Forbes, 21st October 2020Borat Subsequent Moviefilm review
It's shock that chokes the best laughs out. This is Sacha Baron Cohen's funniest, edgiest, greatest movie since Borat. Very niiiice.
Larushka Ivan-zadeh, Metro, 21st October 2020Borat Subsequent Moviefilm review
The mockumentary pretence is untenable from the start.
Kevin Maher, The Times, 21st October 2020Borat Subsequent Moviefilm review
Sacha Baron Cohen's calamity-prone Kazakh reporter takes dead-aim at US conservatism in this rip-snorting sequel.
Charles Bramesco, Little White Lies, 21st October 2020Borat Subsequent Moviefilm review
Borat's adventures are often followed by a raft of lawsuits, and that could well be the case again. Some have already been filed.
Jake Coyle, Associated Press, 21st October 2020Borat Subsequent Moviefilm review
Master of audacity Sacha Baron Cohen returns with a sequel to the original 2006 Borat movie, and it is mostly a re-run of previous gags, right down to the "mankini".
Steve Morrissey, Radio Times, 21st October 2020Borat Subsequent Moviefilm review
As you might have said in 2006: veery naaice!
