Review For The Dictator
The film has a vicious edge that the Marx Brothers didn't have, and it's too low-minded to achieve their enchanting blend of anarchy and surrealism. David Denby-New Yorker Now [Cohen is] turning material both fresh and rancid into tepid gruel. Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal On the laughmeter The Dictator is closer to Borat than to the misfired Bruno, which is to say it's funny for about half of its brisk 83 minutes. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Most of The Dictator had me neither laughing nor shocked, but just staring at the screen in anxious is-that-all-there-is? silence. Dana Stevens-Slate A bit scattershot and schticky, the film never quite settles into a consistent comic rhythm. Yet for fans of Baron Cohen's work there are plenty of moments of crass hilarity. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic For the most part, the movie's rhythms feel slightly off -- there are long stretches without a laugh -- and there is a mean-spirited air to the whole thing. Randy Cordova-Arizona Republic The film's writers understand that satire is infinitely more powerful when it's accessible Charlie Lyne-Ultra Culture By now, what looked like good dirty fun, a funhouse mirror pointed at America, has calcified into easy shtick. Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com The publicity stunts for promoting The Dictator were funnier than the actual movie. Clay Cane-BET.com A sly/insightful portrait that the comedian has already painted, and re-painted, and painted again. How many examples of the same idea can he successfully convey on film? Kofi Outlaw-ScreenRant While The Dictator may appear different than Borat and Brüno, it is very much the same idea as both films, packed with the same jokes and new ones that are more disturbing than they are hilarious. David Baldwin-We Got This Covered Cohen remains a talented comedian. I like his anything-goes sense of humor. But, "The Dictator" feels like he was holding back to get people to like his character. Paul Chambers-Movie Chambers Where Borat had unsuspecting victims, The Dictaror is stuck with actors; the Candid Camera element erased. As is the shock value. Erick Weber-NECN It doesn't have much to say about the character Cohen portrays or about how the world perceives that stereotype, which results in a paper thin but generally amusing little farce. William Bibbiani-CraveOnline A few laughs here and there at the expense of offensive stereotypes, The Dictator mostly repeats jokes we've seen in other, better Sacha Baron Cohen films. R. L. Shaffer-IGN DVD Most of the film is fairly gentle in its political, social, and personal jabs. I kept looking for more bite. (Blu-ray edition) John J. Puccio-Movie Metropolis This is Cohen in a lightweight mood, taking very few chances, instead relying on only mildly irreverant humor. John J. Puccio-Movie Metropolis While [Sacha Baron Cohen's] latest, ultra-hyped effort The Dictator has its fair share of disgusting, gross-out moments, perhaps the biggest shock is that it actually has a decent story and engaging characters. Jim Schembri-3AW A missed opportunity of global proportions. Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm What's shocking is the movie's finale, in which Baron Cohen -- as usual, fully committed to his character -- delivers a diatribe that's a satirical version of Charlie Chaplin's famous speech in The Great Dictator. Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune It doesn't expose stupidity. That's what Cohen has done absolutely wonderfully in the past with his other characters. Now he's just acting stupid, with only some funny results. Jeff Bayer-The Scorecard Review By this time, even Eve Ensler probably would support a movie and TV comedy moratorium on the use of the word 'vagina.' John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) The danger for Baron Cohen is having made his name as a confrontational comedian but delivering something that, while occasionally provocative, feels too conventional. Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema Both the laughter and the satire had crawled off and quietly died. Jenny McCartney-Daily Telegraph A weapon of mass derision. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express The biggest problem with the movie is that it has all these crazy dictator jokes, which are funny but when it tries to be a movie, it fails miserably. You don't buy any of it. Mark Ellis-Schmoes Know
