	Sacha Baron Cohen in &#34;The Dictator&#34;

In The Dictator, Sacha Baron Cohen plays a fish out of water, acclimating himself to American culture and offending everyone in sight while he does it. You could begin that sentence with, “In Borat,” or “In Bruno,” and not make any other changes. Therein lies the problem with The Dictator: [...]]]></description>
