It seemed like a promotional film for the democrat vote to me. It was really poor, I have enjoyed Borat and Ali G in the past but this was so crass it was wafer thin in terms of script.
The Rudy scene was a complete hack job, all hype - the poor guy was just tucking in his trousers ffs.
It was crass and offensive, in very poor taste, and not funny. I made it through maybe 10 minutes and had to shut it off.
There's movies that suck because they just aren't entertaining. This movie, however, wouldn't matter if it was - it's moral underpinnings are so faulted, one can't get beyond that in good conscience.

Just watched it. Eh. Some parts are too cringey for me. Not really a fan. Rudy is a putz, but the whole idea of the movie and the first one too is not my cup of tea.
I watched it and I have mixed feeling.
I didn't like the dance/period thing. I didn't really see the point apart from to try to shock/repulse (maybe that is the point). I just wish we were past the point of being horrified by periods.
I don't have a problem with two adults doing what they want (the girl reporter is in her 20s) but my concern with that is this is a guy (Rudy) who is meant to be trusted with your state secrets and so on and he is doing that the first time he met someone he didn't know. Isn't he vulnerable to all kinds of corruption and I find that disturbing. Well I mean other countries may find that positive but I don't.
An individual can often be manipulated to act in certain ways, but for me the most interesting scenes were the rallies. I did like the scene with the ladies in the synagogue. They obviously had no clue.
There were parts I thought were brilliant and parts I didn't like.
It had its moments. Not as good as the first but wasn’t expecting it to be.
Borat > Bruno by far
"Borat" pushing censorship.

Article's premise is flawed. Removing outright disinformation is not the same as "removing things people find offensive."
I'm tired of fact vs. lies being confused with differing opinions.

Rudy got paid for that scene.
Ummm, no he didn't. He's so stupid he legitimately fell for that.
Can't blame him though, I wanted to rub one out looking at that girl. She's 24 in real life BTW.
Rudy's own words

Just watched it. The Rudy scene was scripted and had a substantial amount of overdubbing. Also there was a large movie camera in the room. It actually did look like Rudy was stuffing his shirt into his pants. The scene and the pre release build up reminds me of the Andy Kaufman and Jerry Lawler feud. Mainstream news gave SBC free publicity.
Anyone who appears in the movie signed a release. There were a few who obviously refused and their faces were blurred out.
The movie made fun of Trump and Obama. It was a stupid, silly movie with a surprise ending.
It wasn’t a great movie but I thought it was funny
Now it’s time to eat some beans.
You really are not a smart person.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_44JkaKLVYBest case scenario for Rudy, he agrees to go to the bedroom with a young female reporter to have a drink, sits on the bed, pats her on the back, let's her unbutton his shirt, ask for her number and address and has his hands down his pants for whatever reason.
Not a good look.
I still think Rudy was in on it. I rewatched that scene and it’s a complete hack job. Rudy even said it was a fabrication. He probably didn’t know what they were going to turn it into but it was obviously a stitched together, non sequential scene with a lot of overdubbed audio.
The earth is round and pro wrestling is choreographed.

Stop, just stop.
Believe Rudy when he says he was not in on it. You sound positivity dim.

Also isn’t the girl playing a 15 year old in the movie and looks very young for her age?

Yes, and that is exactly my biggest concern. Doesn't it bother most people that a father would be offering up his daughter as a sexual object of desire to gain advantage? All while the daughter is clearly a legal minor?
Trash,.
You actually believe what a lawyer/politician/actor says?
Well, can't you see Rudy’s acting is the last act of a desperate man?
Now, seriously, who is being dim here?

No.
I believe the guy who makes a living setting people up
He seemed like he has been in that situation before...why would he let her unbutton his shirt only to tuck in his shirt? I can't imagine what we would find on his laptop...
Sacha Baron Cohen= barley more than a one trick pony.
pretty good trick though
