The Dictator (2012)
Directed by Larry
Charles this film stars Sacha Baron Cohen, Anna Faris and Sir Ben
Kingsley. The military dictator of a fictional North African country
travels to the US where he is replaced by a double and has to mix
with normal people for a change.
There is not a lot of
originality about the plot which has a lot of elements are similar to
other films. Humour in this film is both very funny but also probably
not for those easily offended, there are also times when the film
skirts stereotyping. The only time the film does really make any
satirical point comes in the form of a rather obvious lecture that is
far too heavy handed for my taste.
3/5
