    Such a hilarious and funny movie. I watched it already so many times but really like to watch it always again as you will laugh every time.

    Let's not forget how amidst all the jokes and amusing situations (which were very funny!), this movie took a minute or two to make us think, or at least criticize the status quo in many "democratic" nations.

    Why are you guys so anti-dictators? Imagine if America was a dictatorship. You could let 1% of the people have all the nation's wealth. You could help your rich friends get richer by cutting their taxes. And bailing them out when they gamble and lose. You could ignore the needs of the poor for health care and education. Your media would appear free, but would secretly be controlled by one person and his family. You could wiretap phones. You could torture foreign prisoners. You could have rigged elections. You could lie about why you go to war. You could fill your prisons with one particular racial group, and no one would complain. You could use the media to scare the people into supporting policies that are against their interests.
