Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

reneenielsen1 So wrong and yet so funny. From the opening scenes to the shorts within the credits including the last line of the film, I was roaring. It's crude and completely politically incorrect so if you're easily offended, don't bother. The jokes come one after another so pay close attention to the dialog. Aladeen is so closed off from the world that his completely obtuse and offensive observations come across as completely innocent and totally hilarious. Loved all the actors.

Hayden Davies I watched The Dictator on a whim expecting it to be a very typical comedy with funny moments and a clichéd plot. I guess I got exactly what I was expecting, I was neither impressed nor disappointed. Overall the plot of the movie is alright, it's predictable and clichéd but it's not awful by any means, it has a typical romantic subplot going on and is utterly predictable. The actual comedic content of the film wasn't that good. I'll admit it had some funny parts, and when it was funny it was really funny, but those parts were few and far between, surrounded by jokes that just didn't hit their mark. Some of the jokes seem like they were trying to fill space, they were repeated multiple times to fill a bit and only served to kill whatever humour was in the original joke. Other times the writers clearly thought a joke was good but it just wasn't funny. The movie certainly had promise, the characters were enjoyable and the premise was alright but when they're put together it falls short. On the whole The Dictator movie is alright to watch for a bit of fun while it's certainly no comedic masterpiece if there's nothing else on it's a bit of dumb fun.

zt650 This movie was so idiotic,parts of it were unwatchable.....unfunny,gross with horrible acting...how ben kingsley agreed to do this crap is beyond me!..What a waste of time...Im glad I didn't have to go out to see this garbage....Please someone try to find anything funny in this poor excuse for a movie

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.
