The Dictator
wants to inspire outrage and hilarity in equal measures. Sacha Baron Cohen rose to fame through Borat, a sort of Candid Camera
movie that let real people reveal their prejudices in response to an
outrageously conceived character. Here, Cohen acts in a scripted story
about an equally outrageous character, a brutal dictator named Aladeen,
ruler of the fictional North African country of Wadiya. While in New
York to protest United Nations sanctions against him, Aladeen is
kidnapped by a scheming underling (Ben Kingsley) and stripped of his
beard, rendering him unrecognizable. A vegan co-op manager (Anna Faris,
pretty unrecognizable herself in a black wig) takes him under her wing,
leading to a change of heart… sort of. Cohen's lowbrow humor is oddly
intellectual
