DVD/Blu-ray Release: The Dictator

Today, Paramount Entertainment is releasing the recent comedy The Dictator on Blu-ray & DVD.  Starring Sacha Baron Cohen as the hilariously oppressive Wadiyan dictator Admiral General Aladeen, there is a lot of embarrassingly funny stuff in the film and those who laugh at political incorrectness are sure to be entertained.  We reviewed The Dictator when it was in theatres on May 18th, our overall consensus was:

“Although not for the easily offended, there is a lot of hilariously inappropriate stuff to laugh at in The Dictator, including Sacha Baron Cohen’s fully committed performance as the cluelessly oppressive Admiral General Aladeen.  **1/2 (Out of 4)”

The Blu-ray includes theatrical and uncut versions of the film, as well as deleted and extended scenes.

The Dictator is 83 minutes and rated 14A.  The unrated cut runs for 98 minutes.
