Movie 51: The Dictator

I'm back! With an exceptionally off color movie written by none other than Sacha Baron Cohen. This movie was full of laughs for those of you who smirk in the face of democracy and laugh at obscenity. I love movies that aren't afraid to tear down social norms using a nuclear warhead (a pointy one). This movie used the death star to fry every generally accepted line in the book of lines not to cross. "Too soon?" was a phrase that was too worn out after the first 20 minutes to even worth uttering anymore. Yet through its coarse comedy and social controversy it maintained a strong hold on a central story. The jokes added to this story instead of detracting from it, elevating this movie from gag to good. It's no masterpiece by any sense of the word, but it is worth seeing if you like a raunchy comedy, be prepared to be offended though :D very fucking offended.
