Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Christy Lemire (1,262) for Associated Press (1,685) on 10 May 2012

Clearly, Baron Cohen is a smart, gifted and versatile actor; it's time for him to stretch his abilities and dictate to himself a new kind of…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Devin Faraci (498) for Birth.Movies.Death. (774) on 10 May 2012

The Dictator feels almost exactly like a Saturday Night Live movie from the 90s…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By David Jenkins (910) for Little White Lies (3,136) on 10 May 2012

The old comic spark is, sadly, MIA, and the humour is offensive in the most tiresome way possible…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Matthew Pejkovic (770) for Matt's Movie Reviews (913) on 10 May 2012

Sacha Baron Cohen reaches new lows with The Dictator, confusing risqué comedy with repulsive humour that overthrows any attempt at making…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Bill Gibron (1,013) for PopMatters (2,617) on 10 May 2012

Instead of aiming for the prejudice or stupidity of its unsuspecting marks, this movie goes back to the typical film comedy formula, and comes…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 10 May 2012

When The Dictator wants to make a point, it does. When it doesn't, it moves steadily between strikingly clever and disappointingly immature…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Chris Bumbray (988) for JoBlo's Movie Emporium (1,959) on 10 May 2012

THE DICTATOR doesn't measure up to BORAT, but is still wildly funny at times…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Richard Corliss (1,032) for TIME Magazine (1,130) on 10 May 2012

Fans of the nasty Baron Cohen may regret his being borderline nice in The Dictator…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Diva Velez (291) for TheDivaReview.com (290) on 10 May 2012

Good for more than its share of riotous laughs if a bit disjointed, The Dictator's timely material and Baron Cohen's outrageous, perceptive…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 10 May 2012

Not all of it is particularly amusing, but most of it is invigoratingly offensive…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Emanuel Levy (2,948) for EmanuelLevy.Com (2,771) on 10 May 2012

Not as offbeat and edgy as Borat and not as vulgar as Bruno, this is Baron Cohen's most mainstream film, containing political barbs, visual…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Michael A. Smith (689) for MediaMikes (371) on 10 May 2012

In the kingdom of comedy there is currently only one ruler. Hail Sacha Baron Cohen…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Tim Grierson (1,482) for Screen International (2,241) on 10 May 2012

The film is consistently amusing, if never quite shocking or hilarious…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Todd Mccarthy (1,810) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 10 May 2012

Cohen employs a comic range that ricochets between wicked political barbs and the lowest anatomical farce, to often funny and occasionally…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Jim Slotek (879) for Toronto Sun (419) on 10 May 2012

The Dictator isn't as outrageous or screamingly funny as Borat. There are laughter-free stretches…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Peter Debruge (1,557) for Variety (12,700) on 10 May 2012

Typically, political correctness couldn't be farther from the filmmakers' mind, and yet, what the picture most sorely lacks is the sort of…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Liam Lacey (1,725) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 10 May 2012

While Baron Cohen's lanky physical slapstick and verbal manglings are funny, the movie begins to feel like one of the later, worn-out Pink…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Avi Offer (997) for NYC Movie Guru (997) on 09 May 2012

Bold, shameless and outrageously funny. You'll laugh your head off…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for Guardian (4,584) on 09 May 2012

The Dictator isn't going to win awards and it isn't as hip as Borat. Big goofy outrageous laughs is what it has to offer…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Simon Gallagher (50) for What Culture (594) on 09 May 2012

If the state of comedy is so desperate that a baby with a merkin has to be played for laughs, then it is perhaps time to start again from the top…
