The Dictator

CriticsCritics: 57
AudienceAudience: 6.3

A ruler of a repressive country risks everything to prevent democracy from taking hold. This broad political comedy turns the idea of a dictator defending his power into an irreverent tale of oppression, politics, and unexpected change.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like broad, politically incorrect comedy and sharp satire, especially in the vein of Borat; Not for you if crude jokes or cultural mockery tend to offend you.
