Review of The Dictator (2012) by Stanley K — 20 Dec 2018
Extended version: same problems as theatrical cut but much less entertaining with the addition of much weaker jokes and more draggy feeling.
Amusing in fits and starts, but somehow the political and cultural satire that is evidently the true target of this succinct movie gets smothered by too many gross-out jokes and a romantic character arc that provides an uncomfortable narrative spine.
