THE DICTATOR

One of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. The Dictator is a show about Haffaz Alladeen, played by Sacha Baron Cohen who starred in popular movies Borat and Bruno. Alladeen is the bizarre dictator of the oil-rich African nation of Wadiya and is as ruthless and egoistical as dictators come.  Aladeen is summoned to New York to a UN assembly to address concerns about his country's nuclear weapons program, where things start to go awry.

The Dictator is in essence a romantic comedy. While on his visit to the United States, Alladeen was captured by a US torturer and had his beard shaved off. Despite escaping, he found himself penniless on the Manhattan streets and becomes dependent on the charity of a feminist vegetarian cafe manager, Zoey, played by Anna Faris, who comes to his rescue.


So begins the misadventures of General Alladeen and Zoey. There were many funny scenes in the movie where i couldn't help bursting out in laughter. For me, there was never a dull moment and the characters are very well portrayed. 

Be warned though, the movie contains a lot of stereotyped humour that may be deemed offensive by some.

The Dictator is a show that probably will not win any awards. However, what it does have to offer is 83 minutes of outrageously funny content that will have you laughing throughout its entire duration.
