Bryan Lienesch78 - Shortsighted, offensive, and utterly hilarious. What more did you expect?
Teeter71 - Not the best comedy, but also not the worst. Borat and Bruno are his better characters, but this movie offered enough laughs to make it worth a watch in my books.

CinemaVisitor Erik65 - He is rude, outrageous and politically incorrect as we like him. There're a few laugh out loud moments but Borat and Bruno are still better.

Dan O'Neill60 - At a swift 82 minutes (including credits), The Dictator doesn’t over-stay its welcome and shows that Cohen is still able to make his raunchy, mean, and offensive brand of comedy work despite pulling out of some very key comedy moments that would have really taken this to be more of a satire, and not just another ordinary, Hollywood comedy.
