THE DICTATOR New TV Spot. Free Press, Fair Election, Women’s Rights Crack Him Up

I think Sacha Baron Cohen brilliantly captures everything we stereotype about dictators and douchebag oppressors everywhere in the upcoming comedy, THE DICTATOR. Paramount has unleashed this new TV spot that shows you some of the liberal concepts out there that make him laugh, he can’t even say ‘em with a straight face. Featuring Ben Kingsley and John C. Reilly and an obviously rigged sprint race..

THE DICATATOR is about “the parallel stories of a goat herder and deposed foreign dictator who gets lost in this country.” But the studio describes it as “the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed,”.
Cohen plays both the goat herder and the deposed foreign dictator who gets lost in the U.S.
Once again, just like Bruno and Borat, this movie will depend heavily on improvisational skills.
Jason Mantzoukas plays Cohen’s sidekick, a fellow from the Middle East.
Ben Kingsley plays “one of two Middle Eastern characters in the plot”
Anna Faris plays the female lead
Also starring Megan Fox, John C. Reilly, , Alec Berg, Jeff Schaffer, and David Mandel

THE DICTATOR opens May 11th, 2012
