There is very little middle ground with American audiences in regard to Sacha Baron Cohen; most people either love him or hate him. The funny thing about the Sacha Baron Cohen haters that I’ve encountered is that many of them have never actually seen one of his movies and/or have him confused with Russell Brand. Equally strange is when someone doesn’t even realize that they’ve actually enjoyed one of his performances which most recently happened with Martin Scorsese’s Hugo. Cohen’s latest film, The Dictator isn’t likely to sway anyone’s opinion of him but to those that enjoy his particular sense of humor they’re in for a hell of a ride.
