Jason Mantzoukas in 'The Dictator'

[Quasar Sniffer 4174]

I just wanted to say that Mantzoukas fucking kills it in this movie. Not only does he make one-liners like "I clean semen out of laptops" hilarious, he gives this "inspirational" speech that's genuinely crazy, heartfelt (for the character), and hilarious. I know he has an improv background, but from just a total acting standpoint, he does a great job as well.

 

So... I guess this post is a rare snark-free message board moment for me when I simply say congratulation on a job well done. I really enjoyed the movie, both as a whole and Jason's performance in it. Everyone here should see it.

I especially liked the bit where he questions Aladeen about where he got his knowledge about bombs. On a scale of Aladeen to Aladeen, I'd have to say that Jason's performance was particularly Aladeen.
