Movie Reviews

Slate - 10/10 by Dana StevensThe conventional meet-cute love story at the center of The Dictator feels like a bizarre concession to some nonexistent demographic that prefers its sick black comedy with a side of humanist sentiment.
Urban Cinefile - 10/10 by Andrew L. UrbanAlthough I'm no fan of Sacha Baron Cohen's work, I always find morsels of memorable satire or plain humour in his work, most of which relies on buffoonery, audacious bad taste and tickling the juvenile fancy
Daily Mail (UK) - 10/10 by Christopher TookeyThe Dictator may be the most conventionally structured of Sacha Baron Cohen's films -- it's essentially a romcom -- but to my mind it's the funniest.
MediaMikes - 10/10 by Michael A. SmithIn the kingdom of comedy there is currently only one ruler. Hail Sacha Baron Cohen!
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura CliffordBaron Cohen's ditched his real-life guerilla attack routine but continues to embrace the same outrageous humor for a film that, while looking a lot like the dark side of Eddie Murphy's "Coming to America," is consistently funny on multiple levels...
Oregonian - 9/10 by Shawn LevyThe Dictator has a few laughs along its bumpy path, but not enough of them to indicate that Cohen has found a means to escape the shadows of his early career and forge a second act for himself.
Time Out Chicago - 9/10 by Ben KenigsbergThe reduction in spontaneity lowers the risks. Unsurprisingly, the best jokes fall closest to the old, topical template.
Detroit News - 9/10 by Tom LongIt reasserts Baron Cohen as a comic force who can't be ignored, dedicated to pushing the envelope and working with real ideas.
Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema - 9/10 by Mark PfeifferThe danger for Baron Cohen is having made his name as a confrontational comedian but delivering something that, while occasionally provocative, feels too conventional.
BET.com - 9/10 by Clay CaneThe publicity stunts for promoting The Dictator were funnier than the actual movie.
