Ladies and gentlemen, this is what it looks like when you allow Sacha Baron Cohen to make a movie loosely based on a book by Saddam Hussein.
The book is titled Zabiba And The King, a bit of obvious "Yay, me! And boo, USA!" propaganda written by the former dictator. And the movie is titled The Dictator, a modern day rom-com set in New York City with Cohen - and his facial hair - playing a dictator who comes to New York and falls in love.
I don't know how much of that hair I can take, honestly, and if it were anybody other than Cohen I'd have written this off as a bad sketch idea inexplicably blown up to feature length. But it IS Cohen and that means all bets are off.
