It was better than the first one.
But, I'm just not a fan of extreme "cringe" comedy.
I did laugh quite a few times though, in spite of the really cringy moments.
The actress who played his daughter was amazing.
Worth it to watch, just for her.

I'm with you. Clever, revealing satire interspersed with very cringey gross out stunts.

Or maybe especially the cringy parts (the debutante ball, OMG!). "Tutar" was marvelous.

because it is so right on target.
I have to admit not only a high tolerance for crude vulgar humor, but an embarrassing level of actually being amused by it. I can certainly understand why people wouldn't like the Borat movies, but they really are good.

I watched in small doses. 15 minutes one evening, 20 the next, etc.
