It is so refreshing to see a movie with such vulgar jokes considering it is a kid's movie or at least movie where the adolescent is one of the main characters. The timing of the jokes is stellar and they are so politically incorrect and I never realized that I missed this type of humor. This would push so many buttons on any average PC folks.
In 2021 where someone can self-determine one's gender and a biologically-male athlete compete with biologically-female athletes based on their science-defying self-identity, the joke is now on our generation. This movie unintentionally became a prophetic little comedy
Yes I know I did not give perfect score, because honestly it is a sloppy movie, in terms of the craft of filmmaking.

I overall enjoyed the film!
Being an actual NYC resident, I thought this Danish director (I loved her ITALIAN FOR BEGINNERS film when I was a budding film buff early 2000s) maybe romanticized NYC a bit too much, but I do understand she wanted to focus on the "KINDNESS" of the city towards these protagonists..
The main plot, which is a mother with two sons fleeing from their abusive husband/father, was quite convincing and engaging but the characters around these three protagonists have no enough back story to make the audience convince those characters' worth..
Bill Nighy and Andrea Riseborough were quite good supporting actors, though. Especially, Ms. Riseborough's performance was very distinct from her other films and made me see her in a wider spectrum (always had preconception of her playing solely characters that are mentally depressed ..)

Saw the original Borat when I was a student in Canada.
(by the way, I am a "legal alien" visa holder in the US, so have no voting rights and no party affiliation)
Absolutely loved the original Borat in 2006 and it remained as one of the best mockumentary/ comedy film upto this point (will be so forever more)
So now I am married, and my wife never saw the original Borat, And we saw that AMAZON PRIME VIDEO has both the original and the new sequel available for free, so we decided to make it a movie night and see both chronologically.
My wife was absolutely amused with the original Borat and it was the 3rd/4th time viewing it for me and I still loved it.
Then we saw this Borat sequel (Subsequent Moviefilm) the very next day, and I can directly say this sequel is a total trash from beginning to end. It felt they had to rush through the production..it was not as meticulously crafted like the first Borat film, and political argument made in this film is also not as convincing as it could have been. I am giving only two stars for the actress who plays the daughter.
Maybe the worst movie that I saw in 2020 (and believe me, I saw a lot of movies because of the lockdown)
