Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

reneenielsen1 So wrong and yet so funny. From the opening scenes to the shorts within the credits including the last line of the film, I was roaring. It's crude and completely politically incorrect so if you're easily offended, don't bother. The jokes come one after another so pay close attention to the dialog. Aladeen is so closed off from the world that his completely obtuse and offensive observations come across as completely innocent and totally hilarious. Loved all the actors.

Gabrielka214 After I saw Borat, I didn't find Sacha Baron Cohen as an actor whose movies are worth watching, but this film has completely changed my opinion. Believe me, The Dictator is one of the most hilarious comedies of ALL TIME!It's based on prejudices against Arabic terrorism, but so well done, that the main character, Admiral General Aladeen, who comes from Wadiya (a fictive country somewhere in the Arabic region), will make you love him despite all.Yes, Aladeen is cruel, terroristic, anti-American, but besides also a funny fellow and a one huge oaf, who, in the end, changes his personality (or so we may hope).It might not seem so, but it's full of situation funny moments and SOPHISTICATED jokes made so that they can be understood ambiguously.Some scenes from this hilarious movie has become cult scenes, such as The Helicopter Scene, which I highly recommend to watch.The Soundtrack is also worth a one BIG PLUS - catchy Arabic songs throughout the whole movie will get you! I personally recommend songs as Ila Nzour Nebra and Goulou L'Mama.What more is left to say? I love this movie and think it deserves a better rating.

Mattie Huggins I really enjoyed Sacha Baron Cohen's previous work with Borat. I came in to The Dictator with relatively high hopes for some good laughs. I'll say that I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. Cohen gets some great laughs on politically incorrect humour in to this film, and it's well done. In the first 10 minutes of the film, I was laughing my head off with the consistency of the humour, but I can see why in the later half this can not be abundant. However, sometimes this film falls flat, with a lot of humour being delayed in the last half of the movie. Sometimes it (but very rarely) feels like it is not Cohen. However these jokes are still a bundle of laughs for the right people. Overall it's a great film if you're familiar with Cohen's other work.

Ole Sandbaek Joergensen Sacha Baron Cohen is a strange guy, a bit too much in many ways, but he also got a sense of humor that is different from many other "comedians", it is very crude and to the point, so much so that it just becomes corny for me.I liked this film more then I had expected I would, I thought it was more in the lines of Borat then an actual film. It definitely have its moments and there is a lot to laugh about, both in big silly somebody got hurt kind of way, but also in the more subtle references and behaviors of the characters, the latter works best for me in this film.I am not a fan, it had its moments, but not really my kind of comedy. It does work well as a plot and setup and the film is nicely put together, but all in all I was expecting more and hoping that this would be more to my liking, but it was not.
