Why This Movie Is Very Nice!

 * 1) Just like its predecessor, the film is never afraid to tackle the racism, anti-Semitism, homophobic, political and viral issues plaguing America, and it still shows.
 * 2) Great chemistry between Sacha Baron Cohen (who played Borat Sagdiyev) and Bulgarian actress Maria Bakalova (who played Borat's daughter Tutar "Sandra Jessica Parker" Sagdiyeva)
 * 3) It's actually kinda shocking how they retooled the story to fit the pandemic aspect in so seamlessly since when they started filming, no one knew the pandemic was going to happen, while still getting the film done in time for the election.
 * 4) Borat received lots of character development alongside Tutar in the movie's short playtime, going from a misogynistic, racist and anti-Semitic journalist to a caring and doting father figure to Tutar who's willing to learn new things and get rid of his old ways just for her.
 * 5) The "fish-out-of-water" plot using the mockumentary style of filming was implemented really well in this film thanks to Sacha Baron Cohen.
 * 6) Just like the previous film, it has lots of memorable and funny moments like Borat interrupting a Mike Pence rally while disguised as Donald Trump and carrying Tutar over his shoulder (this actually happened, no joke) and Tutar showing off her menstrual blood-covered panties while performing at a debutante ball with her father (who's wearing heavy makeup to disguise himself at the time).
 * 7) Heavily-improved cinematography thanks to Luke Geissbühler, even though most of the movie had to be shot incognito.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Just like the previous film, a lot of stuff in the movie can get extremely offensive at times.
 * 2) Azamat from the previous film was killed off due to his actor refusing to come back after being lied to that this movie would not be Borat 2.
 * 3) Borat's voice sounds noticeably different than it did in the previous film.
 * 4) Due to Borat's newfound fame from the previous film, some of the pranks and jokes can end up becoming too predictable at times.
 * 5) Many of the jokes are rooted in late-2010s and early-2020s politics and pop culture, and might go over the heads of younger viewers in the future.
