Review of The Dictator (2012) by Daniel D — 08 Nov 2012
"I'm Pregnant".
"Is it a boy or an abortion".
I read a critic comparing this to the Marx Brothers Duck Soup. Don't do that. It's not the familiar, and Duck Soup puts any comedy to shame.
The dictator relied on shock humor, but it is Cohen after all. Not for the easily offended, and it'll target most everyone. Making jokes of child molestation and every race, it's gonna be a hell of a ride.
Had many smart political jokes, especially in the opening fifteen minutes. Mainly sex jokes though, which were hit and miss. Compared to other Cohen films I'd put it over Ali G in da house, Bruno, and Talegada nights. Under Borat and Hugo though.
