Pick of the Week
Sacha Baron Cohen, the chameleon-like comedy star of 'Borat' and 'Bruno,' returns to the screen as his latest outrageous larger-than-life character, Third World ruler Admiral General Aladeen, beloved leader of Wadiya. This is the heroic story -- the banned and unrated version you couldn't see in theaters -- of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed. Aladeen takes his first trip to America, only to find himself stripped of power and suddenly forced to live his ultimate nightmare... the American dream.
