Customer Ratings & Reviews

Movie is hiliarious with lots of political bases, inuendos and right up there with the rest of his movies.

This movie is not for the easily offended. You can't take it too seriously, you just have to release your preconceived notions of PC comedy and enjoy.

I bought this Blu-Ray here on BestBuy.com because of the great low price. The movie is funny and dumb at the same time, I enjoyed it..

Great product. I would highly recommend purchasing!

Its a great movie if you like the type of movies that cross the line so to speak, you'll laugh so much.

I love this movie, it always cracks me up. Its in great condition too

I know this guy's work. Not his best but worth watching once.

Shame I can't return this movie! I should have listened to my first mind but I was curious about its contents.

The plot was not well planned and the character was not realistic in certain scenes. Acting was not good.

In your home country, you are all-powerful, worshipped, albeit forcibly, and seen as God come to Earth. Then, you are abandoned in a country where you’re despised by the public as a whole and must make a living. What do you do? Admiral General Hafez Aladeen (played by Sacha Baron Cohen) has been master of all he surveys in the North African Republic of Wadiya for decades. He’s immature, anti-Semitic, has such poor judgment, and so little control over his libido that his bodyguards are all female and chosen primarily for their looks. In addition, he spends a fortune of his country’s money for the pleasure of Megan Fox’s company in the bedroom. Still, all is not perfect in the world of our conceited ruler. He must face the combined challenges of building his struggling nuclear program and keeping U.N. inspectors from discovering it. All while his right hand and uncle, Tamir (played by Ben Kingsley) grows frustrated with working for such a buffoon. Believing that he rightly belongs in the seat of power, Tamir (Kingsley) hires an American mercenary named Clayton (played by John C. Reilly) to kidnap Aladeen so that he can be replaced a look-alike they employ to foil assassination attempts. The look-alike, (also played by Cohen) is a simpleton and will be much easier to manipulate than the real Aladeen who managed to escape his captors, but not before they’d stripped him of his decorated military uniform and cut off his trademark beard. After meeting him outside the U.N., Zoey, an activist and operator of an alternative lifestyle food co-op (played by Anna Faris) offers Aladeen a job, believing he was a refugee from the oppressive regime rather than the covertly ousted oppressor himself. Now, having not seen Borat or Bruno, perhaps I was unprepared for Cohen’s brand of comedy. The director, Larry Charles, was also behind the camera for Cohen’s previous efforts but I’m only familiar with his work as an alumnus of the Seinfeld writing staff and as the director of the Bill Maher documentary Religulous. I am a fan of both but comparing The Dictator to Seinfeld is like comparing apples to… well, Seinfeld. And the obvious references to eccentricities exhibited by Saddam Hussein and former Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi were funny, but the protagonist himself neither funny nor sympathetic. To me, he was rarely, if ever, interesting. Others might enjoy this film, I didn't.

Not as great as Borat but much better than Bruno. Many laugh out loud segments in the movie. Watch it and laugh out loud

It is pretty funny, don't watch with kids. The quality of the movie was great, however.

this movie will leave you guys laughing non stop its nonstop funny with really good acting and just make sure not to watch with kids

great Sasha Baron Cohen movie but nothing will ever be near as good as Borat, unfortunately

Can't believe this even made it to the theaters. The jokes were stuff you hear at a elementary school. Definitely deserves a razzi award.

When I purchased this movie I thought it might be somewhat hilariious, but it wasn't. The Plot sucked & the acting was not any better.

One of the worst movies ever. Couldn't even finish watching it. That's how bad it was

Wasted some of life watching and buying this DVD. Very poor and boring
