   Critics consensus Wildly uneven but consistently provocative, The Dictator is a decent entry in the poli-slapstick comedy genre. More reviews on Rotten Tomatoes

1. • • The DICTATOR is a guilty pleasure, full of jokes that cue both laughter and a small helping of shame. Make no mistake about it, General Aladeen is a nasty piece of work: offensive, sexist, selfish, violent (though he apparently has never killed anyone, despite what he thinks), and arrogant.

   Is 'the dictator' a good movie?

   • Hail, Hail Wadiya! "The Dictator" is funny, in addition to being obscene, disgusting, scatological, vulgar, crude and so on. Having seen Sacha Baron Cohen promoting it on countless talk shows, I feared the movie would feel like deja vu. But no. He establishes a claim to be the best comic filmmaker now working.

   Is 'the dictator' a Borat?

   • "The Dictator" has offensive, dirty, and everything you've come to expect from a Sacha Baron Cohen movie and that somewhat works. Not Another Borat, It's Aladeen! With Sacha Baron Cohen in the lead, "The Dictator" displays coarse humour in his own idiosyncratic way.

   Is the dictator a satire or a funny movie?

   • Nevertheless, The Dictator is satire, it is a movie making fun of the real world, and if you let it be, it makes you aware (while laughing) at the racist thoughts and stereotypes ordinary people have everyday. Yes, it has its strange and explicit scenes, but overall, I think it has substance and it was very funny.

   Is the dictator funny?

   • When The Dictator is funny, it truly is funny, but when it's not, it hits the ground hard with some scenes. Quite possibly the worst scene takes place in the green market, where Aladeen is forced to assist a woman helplessly lying on the floor with the delivery of her baby.

   'The Dictator' Synopsis: The heroic story of a dictator who risks his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed. 'The Dictator' is funny & entertaining, but its obviously not logical. It has moments that are so absurd, that you might feel repulsed, but 'The Dictator' at least stays true to its genre.
