Review of The Dictator (2012) by Scott C — 13 May 2014
No doubt many will be extremely offended by this as it is ludicrously un-pc. And I haven't even seen the unrated version! This is a rather clever satire and I'm not quite sure why audiences were so much more turned off by this than Borat and Bruno.
All that said though, some of it stepped over the line into the truly offensive. But, when making a comedy like this, you have to take risks and push the boundaries. I think it's a noble, borderline failure, but nowhere near as bad as you've heard.
