The humour is very much of the no-holds barred variety, with sex, drugs and smuggling sausages through US customs being the brand style.

Eschewing the mockumentary approach of Sacha Baron Cohen's previous movies, The Dictator adopts a more traditional comedy narrative but, as with Borat and Brüno, it's not about the plot but the moments.

A movie with a really charming cast, but which is in too much of a hurry.

Meanwhile, Kenneth prepares for the Rapture.

With so many Europeans dominating the top of the World rankings, viewers can expect a tight contest (and maybe an Irish win).
