The Dictator (2012)
7/10
Sacha Baron Cohen's many personalities
17 August 2013
Haffaz Aladeen (Sacha Baron Cohen) is the tyrannical ruler of the Republic of Wadiya. His uncle Tamir (Ben Kingsley) schemes to take over. Aladeen escapes and loses his identity. He has trouble fitting in as a nobody in New York and hippie store owner Zoey (Anna Faris) gives him a job.

Sacha Baron Cohen is at it again with another character. There's definitely a lot of Colonel Ghaddafi in this personality. I LOVE Borat. It is one of the most brilliant comedy in recent memory. On the other hand, I HATE Brüno and Ali G is watchable only in short bursts. Why? It's hard to explain but funny is sometimes very personal. I like The Dictator.
