Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Ronaldovoxo (18) on 16 May 2012

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Chipchase (1) on 16 May 2012

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Luke Y. Thompson (1,447) for Nerdist (550) on 15 May 2012

Perhaps the best analog for this dictator is someone like Eric Cartman - you'd never want to know him, but you can't stop laughing anyhow,…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By David Nusair (3,363) for Reel Film Reviews (3,339) on 15 May 2012

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Peter Sobczynski (1,159) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 15 May 2012

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Phil Villarreal (1,289) for OK! Magazine (124) on 15 May 2012

Take away Cohen's ability to trap idiots into making fools of themselves is like stripping Superman of his ability to soar…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By David Stratton (799) for At the Movies (Australia) (716) on 15 May 2012

It builds up to this extraordinary finale and this speech he makes, which is like something out of Frank Capra practically…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Leonard Maltin (609) for leonardmaltin.com (584) on 15 May 2012

Review of The Dictator (2012)

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 15 May 2012
