The dictator is a comedy movie not just about dictatorship, but about our democracy too.First of all, the movie goes thought some stereotypes, begins with how we see the middle east, and the dictatorships, stupids and full of self pride. Although it shows a society with multiples interests, for good and for bad.Furthermore the dictator, called Aladeen, goes to America and suffer from a cultural shock in the way of life. After he has access to western way the way he thinks change and start to have more conscience. Besides the dictator epiphany, the main question is ourself reflection after listen his speech in the United Nation. About how unequal and unfair our society is, and beside the average sense we are more similar with dictatorship we use to think.All in all, the movies make a critical vision of our society, and how big is the possibilities ways we humans can organize ourself, it is amazing, for good and for bad. I strong recommend this movie, specially the final UN speech.

The Dictator is a good movie with a fairly well developed storyline and a terrific comedic cast. Sacha Baron Cohen hits it out of the park once again, further showing his versatile range for comedic performances, he plays two characters in this movie that both bring in the most laughs, the scene on the helicopter tour had me in stitches, the controversial jokes and political satire is evident throughout this film, which never fails to make me laugh. My main problem with this movie is that Aladeen is a very unlikeable character, though he may be very funny, I never found myself supporting him or wanting him to succeed in any way, in every film the character should turn around and become a better person than they were at the beginning, but Aladeen remains the exact same, and he is supported by many likable characters, such as Omar and Zoey, that really have no reason to be helping him as much as they do. The story telling in the movie is a bit off, a comedy film obviously dosen't have to have a terrific arc, but it gets very messy at times, it jumps around a lot from Aladden trying to return to his throne, to a love story that begins out of nowhere, to a villain who's motives are always made clear but never really come in to full swing, there was a lot of stuff that I felt could have happened, such as a proper love scene between Cohen and Anna Faris, or an actual confrontation between Aladeen and Tamir, it ends with a lot of loose ends that aren't tied up. It has many flaws, but the Dictator mostly makes up for this with pure hilarity, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good comedy if you ever see it on television or Netflix. While in New York to ensure democracy never enters his country, a powerful dictator is taken away from his position and forced to a live as a normal American. Best Performance: Sacha Baron Cohen Worst Performance: Rizwan Manji

Ali G, Borat, Bruno. If you've seen any of them, then you probably know what to expect from Sacha Baron Cohen. Vulgar, crude, politically INcorrect are just some of the terms you could use - depending on your opinion.Basically, if you're easily offended, you probably won't want to watch the tale of an evil Middle Eastern Dictator who finds himself lost in America amidst a plot to oust him from power.However, there are still plenty of people who find this sort of humour funny (and I'm one of them). Personally, I didn't think it was as good as Borat or Bruno as the second half seemed a bit forced. The film lasted just under the typical hour and a half mark, but probably could have got away with being an hour long. It would probably have been a pretty funny hour - if you like that sort of thing.The major criticisms being thrown at The Dictator is claims of racism (just like Borat and Ali G, not to mention claims of homophobia at Bruno) and whether the film mocks Middle Eastern stereotypes, or whether it actually attacks those who impose the stereotypes. The film has also come under fire for being too 'pro-Jew' too anti-American and generally too liberal. Maybe that's true, maybe it's not. It's one of those arguments where if you're looking to use this film to support or challenge your own political viewpoint or religious beliefs there are arguments for and against.The bottom line is that it's quite funny. Quite. Not as good as Borat or Bruno, but still there are plenty of silly and vulgar (and I should emphasis the words 'silly' and 'vulgar' because they're the backbone of this film) moments to make you laugh out loud. Probably not a classic, but entertaining nonetheless.
