Ive never been a spoiler baby.
But it doesnt make it less of a bummer.
Cohen works famously hard on his movies, hiring a ridiculous number of writers with different styles.
WatchingBorat 2was no different.
But this stupidity doesnt feel slight because its building to something.

I did not like Cohens Showtime seriesWho Is America?as much as any of his other work.

This is an obituary for the most enjoyable way one could have seenBorat 2.
