Dorathen Better Late Then Never

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Vashye Statistkyva It doesn't adhere to the tenents of Social Justice and thus can actually make jokes rather than fussing about what is and isn't a centi-aggression.

areatw I'm a big fan of Sacha Baron Cohen and 'Borat' remains today one of my favourite comedy movies of all time. No matter how many movies he makes, I doubt any of them will come close to 'Borat'. I was a fan of 'Bruno' too, so I couldn't wait to see what 'The Dictator' had to offer. I did enjoy it, but I do think that Cohen's other movies are better.'The Dictator' is refreshingly politically incorrect at a time when film-makers go out of their way to avoid causing offense. I thought the character 'Zoey', an obnoxious left-wing feminist, was a particularly funny and accurate representation of many people in society today. I loved that side of the movie. However, I did feel that there were chunks of the movie that didn't provide any laughs whatsoever, which was disappointing for a Cohen film.'The Dictator' is an entertaining and funny film, but I must admit that it didn't meet my high expectations. Probably Cohen's worst film, but still worth a watch.

Ole Sandbaek Joergensen Sacha Baron Cohen is a strange guy, a bit too much in many ways, but he also got a sense of humor that is different from many other "comedians", it is very crude and to the point, so much so that it just becomes corny for me.I liked this film more then I had expected I would, I thought it was more in the lines of Borat then an actual film. It definitely have its moments and there is a lot to laugh about, both in big silly somebody got hurt kind of way, but also in the more subtle references and behaviors of the characters, the latter works best for me in this film.I am not a fan, it had its moments, but not really my kind of comedy. It does work well as a plot and setup and the film is nicely put together, but all in all I was expecting more and hoping that this would be more to my liking, but it was not.

FilmCriticLalitRao As a comedy film which ridicules everything which is discussed in the film, 'The Dictator' can be seen either with people of one's age, juniors or friends. It would be not right to call its opponents 'Victorian prudes' but under no circumstances should one watch it with family. American director Larry Charles and actor Sasha Baron Cohen have contrived nicely to make their film replete with sexual innuendos. They also make a lot of fun of nature loving geeks. Some hints of authenticity are witnessed in the portrayal of UN delegates especially a Chinese diplomat who makes a lot of comical remarks about his wife in order to seek false popularity ? American director Larry Charles' film "The Dictator" is a bad work of art for dictators and their megalomania cal images. It is a film which no intelligent dictator would like to endorse. Most dictators feel that their actions are always justified. For this reason, they would never like to be remembered for this type of hostile portrayal.
