3 stars out of 5 -- A film like THE DICTATOR lives by the strength of its gags, and Cohen & co deliver a relentless barrage of politically incorrect rib-ticklers.

Rating: 4/5 -- Assuming you're not easily offended, The Dictator is laugh-out-loud comedy at its best. Full Review

The problem is that, unlike Ali G, Borat, and Brüno, Aladeen is less a force of nature than a scripted performance. Full Review

I think I can feel it disappearing from my mind even as I am trying to remember it... It's Baron Cohen going at 50mph rather than 100mph. Full Review

4 stars out of 5 -- Middle East megalomania, antisemitism, sexism, racism and war-mongering are given side-splitting censure in THE DICTATOR, a superb vehicle for Sacha Baron Cohen's over-the-top socio-political outrageousness.

The film has a better developed plot than BRUNO and a more defined structure than BORAT....THE DICTATOR also has its moments of slyly clever satire.

Rating: 1/5 -- Both the laughter and the satire had crawled off and quietly died. Full Review
