LIVIN XXX LARGE.
One of Sacha Baron Cohen’s most annoyingly moronic characters is brought back to life in a Borat-style mockumentary that has the rapper dealing with the possibility of becoming a father, while he’s also hunted by an exceptionally woke academic.
The latter is also played by an unrecognizable Baron Cohen who subjects various Americans to his brand of provocative comedy.
Far from as funny and fresh as Borat, and never equally bold, but there’s a few outrageous scenes.
