Funny movie

Sacha Baron Cohen likes to test the limits of good taste and vulgarity. Surprisingly enough, there wasn't much of the latter, compared to Borat or Brüno. But it's still not a stellar movie.Aladeen is the dictator of the little North Africa country of Wadya. Since his nuclear program is deemed to dangerous, Western countries threathen military action. So he travels to NYC to speak before the UN... where his body double is substituted so he can sell his country's resources to foreigners.Since that movie isn't filmed like a mockumentary like previous movies, it makes it easier to follow and more enjoyable not to track it in real life. Of course, he caricatures conservatives like ignorants, incorporates antisemitism (to a lesser degree, thankfully) and the usual left talking points.However, willingly or not, he also mocks the "woke" people before they even had a name. Zoe's character and persona is the perfect embodiment of woke; watch the movie to find out why.In short, this movie is one of Cohen more tolerable ones. It doesn't fly high, but it's in much better taste than both Borat movies for having less overt sexuality and less antisemitism. It's short so you won't waste much time

Good movie! Very funny!

Every satirist needs a full quiver of arrows in their war on idiocy, and Sacha Baron Cohen’s sidesplitting post-“Borat” film “The Dictator” only serves to further cement Cohen as our foremost lampooner of the willfully dumb.Deploying his trademark mix of keen insight and bombastic vulgarity, Cohen brings to life Admiral General Aladeen, ruthless ruler of North African oil state Wadiya. When he’s not enriching uranium in pursuit of nukes, he wins competitive sprints by shooting competitors and race officials. Yet once he’s abducted by America’s lunatic security chief (an inspired John C. Reilly), our dictator gets stripped of his power, money, and beard. In a mellifluous twist, Aladeen turns to altruistic feminist Zoey (Anna Farris) and scorned scientist Nadal (Jason Mantzoukas) to stop his traitorous ex-lieutenant (Ben Kingsley) from turning Wadiya into a democracy.Throughout, Cohen’s outrageous humor leverages sexism and racism to lambaste the ignorance of both, and all while Aladeen evolves into another elite character sketch within Cohen’s growing Pantheon. Provided you’re not reflexively pouty when presented with the paradoxes of satire, you’ll likely recognize “The Dictator” as the masterful comedy movie it is. - (Was this of use?
