Mercifully, this unexpected and belated Borat movie sequel does not disappoint in the least. Acknowledging the fame of its central character, Borat is sent on a mission back to the USA, and with his teenage daughter in tow and various disguises employed, the reality aspect that made the character's exploits so successful has been reinvented and deployed very successfully (for me, the debutante ball is the appallingly and outrageously hilarious highlight). This sequel has the same mix of outright laughs, surprise, sweetness and shock that made the first movie so entertaining. Baron Cohen remains a master at this type of comedy, and the addition of the terrific Maria Bakalova as Borat's daughter Tutar is a masterstroke. This style of humour is not to everyone's taste, but as a guide there are more laughs in the first five minutes of this film than in the whole of most so-called modern comedies.
