Well Deserved Praise

That was an excellent one.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

It doesn't adhere to the tenents of Social Justice and thus can actually make jokes rather than fussing about what is and isn't a centi-aggression.

I'm a big fan of Sacha Baron Cohen and 'Borat' remains today one of my favourite comedy movies of all time. No matter how many movies he makes, I doubt any of them will come close to 'Borat'. I was a fan of 'Bruno' too, so I couldn't wait to see what 'The Dictator' had to offer. I did enjoy it, but I do think that Cohen's other movies are better.'The Dictator' is refreshingly politically incorrect at a time when film-makers go out of their way to avoid causing offense. I thought the character 'Zoey', an obnoxious left-wing feminist, was a particularly funny and accurate representation of many people in society today. I loved that side of the movie. However, I did feel that there were chunks of the movie that didn't provide any laughs whatsoever, which was disappointing for a Cohen film.'The Dictator' is an entertaining and funny film, but I must admit that it didn't meet my high expectations. Probably Cohen's worst film, but still worth a watch.

The Dictator is a good movie with a fairly well developed storyline and a terrific comedic cast. Sacha Baron Cohen hits it out of the park once again, further showing his versatile range for comedic performances, he plays two characters in this movie that both bring in the most laughs, the scene on the helicopter tour had me in stitches, the controversial jokes and political satire is evident throughout this film, which never fails to make me laugh. My main problem with this movie is that Aladeen is a very unlikeable character, though he may be very funny, I never found myself supporting him or wanting him to succeed in any way, in every film the character should turn around and become a better person than they were at the beginning, but Aladeen remains the exact same, and he is supported by many likable characters, such as Omar and Zoey, that really have no reason to be helping him as much as they do. The story telling in the movie is a bit off, a comedy film obviously dosen't have to have a terrific arc, but it gets very messy at times, it jumps around a lot from Aladden trying to return to his throne, to a love story that begins out of nowhere, to a villain who's motives are always made clear but never really come in to full swing, there was a lot of stuff that I felt could have happened, such as a proper love scene between Cohen and Anna Faris, or an actual confrontation between Aladeen and Tamir, it ends with a lot of loose ends that aren't tied up. It has many flaws, but the Dictator mostly makes up for this with pure hilarity, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good comedy if you ever see it on television or Netflix. While in New York to ensure democracy never enters his country, a powerful dictator is taken away from his position and forced to a live as a normal American.

As a comedy film which ridicules everything which is discussed in the film, 'The Dictator' can be seen either with people of one's age, juniors or friends. It would be not right to call its opponents 'Victorian prudes' but under no circumstances should one watch it with family. American director Larry Charles and actor Sasha Baron Cohen have contrived nicely to make their film replete with sexual innuendos. They also make a lot of fun of nature loving geeks. Some hints of authenticity are witnessed in the portrayal of UN delegates especially a Chinese diplomat who makes a lot of comical remarks about his wife in order to seek false popularity ? American director Larry Charles' film "The Dictator" is a bad work of art for dictators and their megalomania cal images. It is a film which no intelligent dictator would like to endorse. Most dictators feel that their actions are always justified. For this reason, they would never like to be remembered for this type of hostile portrayal.
