Sonya F.

Actually, this film is a surprise. We have a character study of a young middle eastern dictator, who at first seems absolutely ridiculous, but through many misadventures in New York City, remarkable traits emerge and he becomes a better man for it - a proper leader, organized, adaptable, observant, warm, courageous, fresh, open and honest. The film leaves no topic untouched in being "politically incorrect." The humor is trenchant, never stops. It makes you laugh and it makes you think. Who'd have thought?

So Sacha is a one trick wonder. After Borat I gave a pass to bruno that was horrible. Now The Dictator for new lows. Yes it has a great trailer, but now you've seen the laughs.

Another dumb Sacha's movie but lower level than even Borat. I like the humor at the beginning, like the music but after 20 minutes I was simply tired from same lame Sacha. Still watchable, some pretty funny moments but kind of disappointed over all.

    This movie got so much hype, but was a huge let down. There were maybe 10 funny one liners in the movie. All and all during the movie I thought that this feels like another Adam Sandler flop.
