The heroic story of a dictator who risks his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed.
Cohen at his best is both brazen and sly. As is The Dictator.
Critic Score: 3.5/5
Of course it's offensive and tasteless. That's the point. Sometimes the jokes are excruciatingly funny.
Critic Score: 3/5
The Dictator is funny, in addition to being obscene, disgusting, scatological, vulgar, crude and so on.
Critic Score: 4/5
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 Panther movies.
Critic Score: 3/5
Baron Cohen balances the stupid, outrageous, over-the-top stuff with almost, ahem, radically provocative observations and pronouncements...
Critic Score: 3.5/5
