Plot:
Haffaz Aladeen (Cohen) is the dim witted but ruthless dictator of the oil rich country of Waadeya. With his intention set on developing a nuclear bomb so he can become a legitimate threat to the world, he is summoned to a meeting by the UN in New York to address concerns about the use of the weapon of mass destruction. But while in The Big Apple, he becomes victim to a failed assassination attempt by his uncle (Kingsley) who uses a body double to replace the dictator so as to turn Waadeya into a country ruled by democracy. Aladeen must do whatever it takes to infiltrate the UN meeting to prevent this from happening, including taking up on a job, something that he is not accustomed to as well as being told what to do, especially by his female boss Zoey (Faris).
Reel Talk:
Sacha Baron Cohen is a complete fool! The Dictator will be included to his resume as another one of his ridiculously hilarious films. It’s a very funny movie! Unlike his previous two films where in some scenes where some of the pranks were shot unknowingly by unsuspecting participates, this one is pretty much scripted and well scripted I might add. They say laughter is good medicine, well this is definitely prescribed by the doctor if a good laugh is what you need.
