Abadeen is the dictator of a crappy little North African country and he is modeled after the likes of Kadafi and Kim Jong Il. But, to make such a character more palatable, he is played for laughs--albeit very uneven ones. That's because "The Dictator" is an incredibly uneven film--with lots of funny parts and lots of unfunny and offensive parts. My advice is to DEFINITELY not watch it with your kids, your mother-in-law or Father Jenkins! But, if none of them are around and you have a high tolerance for this crude humor, then by all means watch. But I am warning you--there are lots of rape jokes, some full-frontal nudity and lots and lots of sex jokes. Worth seeing? I dunno--but it did often make me laugh--especially when I watched the Olympics.

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.

When the UN threatens the nuclear program of the Republic of Wadiya, the dictator Hafez Aladeen (Sacha Baron Cohen) decides to go to New York to make a speech in the assembly. However, his minister Tamir (Ben Kingsley) is plotting a scheme to topple Aladeen and sign multimillionaire contracts with foreign oil companies to make him a tycoon.

Tamir hires the torturer Clayton (John C. Reilly) to kill Aladeen, but he fails and the dictator flees without his long beard. Aladeen unsuccessfully tries to reach the Lancaster Hotel and he meets the owner of the store of natural products Zoey (Anna Faris),who is protesting against the presence of Aladeen in UN. She believes that he is Allison Burgers, a refugee from Wadiya and brings Aladeen to her store to help him to cater the hotel. He stays with her while he tries to find a means to break in the hotel with his comrade Nadal (Jason Mantzoukas).

The politically incorrect "The Dictator" is one of the funniest and most intelligent criticisms I have ever seen in many years. Sacha Baron Cohen is hilarious in the role of a dictator and only his speech in the United Nation explaining what a dictatorship is to people used to "democracy" makes the movie worth. But there are several other jokes that made me laugh most of the time. Further the cameos are also a great attraction, especially Megan Fox in the role of herself. My vote is eight.
