I liked the subtext of the climax speech, but the more I think about this film, the more I see it as knowingly, maliciously depicting Arabs as cold-blooded, provincial, Israel-hating, imbecilic, homophobic pedophiles. As an Arab myself, an Arab to whom not a single one of those dehumanizing stereotypes applies in any way, this movie feels like a conscious message to society to see me as less of a person. I don't appreciate that at all. I also simply didn't find the film funny in the first place.

This looks crude and vulgar as it should be, but Charles and Cohen seem trapped in some sort of surrealistic slapstick comedy script, where the jokes come and go too fast, just to fill the empty spaces that bad acting and pacing leave throughout the narrative. I'd rather see a bad sequel to Borat than Aladeen's constant anxiety to please -- or to offend.

Cohen struggles to move away from his established characters, with an overreliance on dick/poop humor and references to recent events in the Middle East. If you still have an inner fifteen year old it's alright but doesn't come close to touching his earlier stuff.

Watching Oscar winning actor Ben Kingsley kiss Sacha Baron Cohen's armpits pretty much summed up the entire movie: hilarious, over the top and totally ridiculous. Some of the jokes miss but many are really funny. The masturbation scene was pure gold. Nice to see Jason Mantzoukas get some work too, guy is great in The League

Spotty comedy has its share of decent chuckles, but strikes an awkward and uncertain balance between a sketch revue and more traditional com/rom-com narrative – the plot is too flimsy and underdeveloped to hold interest between the gags, and the gags are not rapid-fire enough to propel the film past the stodgier bits. It doesn’t help that many of the gags are too contrived and laborious in their set-up (read: the 9/11 2012 gag). Some well chosen and utilised cameos definitely help.

This movie works best when it is dealing with satire. There are some funny jokes but many of the gross out moments in the film fall flat. There are numerous fun cameos but they do not make up for some weak parts in the script. The conclusion of romance part of the movie is average. Overall the uneven script and too many unfunny moments brings this movie down.

Another Sacha Baron Cohen misfire, The Dictator is a crude comedy that has a few moments of brilliance but on the whole isn't anywhere near funny enough to warrant even the paltry amount of running time it's been given. Cohen's great at getting into character, but most of the jokes just aren't that good, and the whole premise wears thin by the halfway mark.

A bit too obvious at times (occasionally thuddingly obvious), and with too many reaches, to be as strong as Borat, but there's plenty of funny shit. I think I laughed every single time Cohen did that little head-chopping gesture.

Living up to the expectations set by BORAT has been difficult for Sacha Baron Cohen, and THE DICTATOR, an obvious large budget and rich source material aside, is too brisk and throwaway to make a lasting impact. But as a farce, it's still fairly funny. General Aladeen isn't much different from Borat, but Baron Cohen's relish in the role is obvious (Ben Kingsley, however, is stuck with yet another thankless role), and Anna Faris isn't bad either. Best moment: Aladeen's discovery of self-pleasure.

Much better than Bruno where Coen lost himself but far weaker than Borat. Still, The Dictator is juicy peace of offbeat humor, mocking of liberal douche bags and over politically correct world.

Like others have said, the jokes are hit or miss, and the pacing makes the film feel rushed and unfocused. Most of all, what separates this from the brilliant Borat and Bruno is the lack of interaction with real people; instead we get dozens of cameos from actors/comedians who deserved better material. But perhaps due to his fame and the subject matter, it was difficult for even SBC to push that envelope?

Sacha Baron Cohen has an skill of being extremely offensive, while still being pretty funny as well. The problem is he sets that bar so high that only the most abrasive jokes are the ones that earn real laughs in 'The Dictator'. This film isn't as quotable as his last movies. A blessing in disguise, you can only hear so many bad Borat impressions before you explode. The soundtrack is excellent. Even though you expect the twist at the beginning of each song, it's still hilarious. Decent flick.

A world-class turd. If this doesn't turn out to be a Worst of the Year contender, then...what a crappy year it's gonna be. Unfunny, broad, and as puerile as they come. Baron Cohen made this movie, clearly, so Mike Myers wouldn't have to. I liked it when his character joyously and elaborately started masturbating for no good reason.

Once the main character is introduced, the movie is over. Out of his 'beloved' Wadiya the Dictator (both the movie and the character) is worthless. Just some short jokes make it and the movie becomes a very light "entertainment" (because personally, I found it mostly boring).

Some funny scenes. It has a very uneven tone in that it can't seem to decide how offensive it wants to be, as such it flip-flops between silly jokes ( hippys smell bad, helicopter scene) and being genuinely offensive ( the bit about raping children).

I found The Dictator to be much funnier than other Cohen movies. Where Borat and Bruno seem insensitive, The Dictator seems like a satire that most people can get behind. I love seeing Anna Faris in a large role like this and her character in this movie is just as funny as Cohen's. John C. Reilly's character, while small, proved to be very funny. Kingsley proves once again that his is the most versatile actor in the world. I would watch this movie again and enjoy it.

This ended up being better and funnier than I expected. It's not as good as Borat (2006), but it was better than Brüno (2009). It was pretty much the same type of humour from Sacha Baron Cohen, so if you haven't enjoyed his previous films, you won't like this one. Lots of jokes intended to be offensive. And it did make me laugh a few times. It had a decent supporting cast. I wouldn't call it some great comedy, but it's a pleasant time-waster.

It's perfectly clear that Sacha Baron Cohen will never produce anything close to the level of Ali G ever again. "The Dictator" is however an undoubted improvement on "Brüno" simply because it doesn't have an awkward mix of real and fake mockumentary material and situations. There's no pretence here, this movie is just SBC having a laugh, and to be fair there are plenty of those, even if there is little else to praise.

I was expecting a pretty good parody of dictatorship and that's what I got in the first 20-30 someodd minutes... but then we got Borat the scripted version with many penis and poop jokes! I really didn't like how the plot became far more politically correct as the movie progressed, even to the point where they needed the protagonist to act as soapbox and compare a common dictatorship to western democracy... which we're expected to take seriously after the barrge of penis and poop jokes.

It's a return to completely scripted comedy, like "Ali G Indahouse", which means it lacks something that made Borat and Bruno fun (and SBC's TV show)... and it's a familiar brand of comedy, harking back to stuff like Eddie Murphy's "Coming to America"... but it's undoubtedly funny stuff, with a dab of biting political commentary. Editing is a bit choppy. It still catches me off guard when Cohen speaks in Hebrew, passing it off to generally unwitting audiences as gibberish in another language.

How did so many funny people come together to make something so painfully average? Even small roles are played by super funny people (ie. Seth Morris as the newborn's dad), but most of them are not given jokes to work with, instead playing grounded foils for Aladeen to bounce off. It's a waste and a real shame, as so many of the jokes fall flat. There are a handful of gags that hit hard though, and Mantzoukas acquits himself very well in his first major role. The movie could've used more of him.

Just what one has come to expect from Larry Charles and Sacha Baron Cohen, "The Dictaror" is a very funny film. The satire is articulate, the humour is mostly inspired and the script is solid, there being no plot holes disguised by ugly jokes, no silly ending for the box office and no parts that drag because the writers ran out of steam halfway or something. It's up-tempo, occasionally surprising and wholly entertaining, boasting a memorable performance by Sacha Baron Cohen.

Sacha Baron Cohen is funny, as always, and this movie is even more hilarious with a romantic sub-plot thrown in. I'd say this wasn't as offensive or as outrageous as either Borat or Bruno (then again, I don't belong to any of the ethnic groups ridiculed in those movies), but "The Dictator" is definitely funnier than those first two movies.

"Throw-the-spaghetti-and-see-what-sticks" style comedy. It's essentially just joke after joke after joke, and some bits are good, some are really good, but most are mediocre and there's even one extended joke about child rape and suicide (yes seriously) that continues to an uncomfortable degree. It's not a car wreck but it's something I wouldn't bother paying more than a few dollars for. Score is not a grade.

Sacha Baron Cohen. You can do better than this.

Sacha Baron Cohen tends to do a great job when hes left unscripted however I don't think the same can be said here. There was moments where I laughed for sure but his signaature shock humour works best I think when you see someone actually shocked, as opposed to in a studio.

Consistent laughs and some very funny performances. It's nice to a see a comedy actually go for it and take a few risks instead of doing the same old thing that every other one seems to do.

Better than Bruno for sure, but not even as close as good as Borat.

Charles and Cohen make a great team because Charles brings the "no hugging, no learning" principle of his Seinfeld writing to the aggressive scandal of Cohen's set-ups for subversive ridicule. Here, we may miss the voyeuristic pleasure of seeing ignorant Americans unwittingly revealing their repugnance, but in its place is the chance for truly inspired comic minds to create great running gags, use a capable cast and fashion a tight, clear-eyed satire of biting relevance.

For every great joke, there's a painfully unfunny one. The overall premise is clever enough to make it a worthwhile piece of entertainment, but the unevenness takes it down a notch.

Any fan of Cohens movies will probably enjoy it immensely. But unfortunately the few moments of clear insight that this movie offers are hurt by jokes that were dated 5 minutes BEFORE the movie came out.

It's been a long time since I've seen a film that I loved and hated in such equal measure. When the gags here work, they really work, and some of the more intelligent, near the knuckle efforts are side-splittingly funny. Unfortunately, the (vast?) majority of the jokes on show are amongst the most childish, puerile, obvious efforts evident on the big screen - as if the writers just went with whatever they thought of first. Has a pleasing Zucker-esque silliness to it too, but again, not enough.
