A satirical story
of a dictator in an Eastern country. The Republic of Wadiya is oppressively ruled by Hafez Aladeen. The UN summons him to New York to talk about his country's nuclear weapons program.
He hates democracy but he comes to America which leads to outrageous
cultural differences.
I’d
estimate that about 75% of the jokes and set-ups are funny and 25% are just OK
but these are pretty good odds for a comedy. Cohen is totally CRAZY and Faris was reluctant to go along with some of his ideas. 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
83min,
Comedy directed by Larry Charles with Sacha Baron Cohen, Anna Faris, Ben
Kingsley, J.B. Smoove, Aasif Mandvi, Adeel Akhtar.
Note: Blockbuster 3*, imdb 6.5 out of 10, 58%
