Movie Ratings on a Random Scale:
The Dictator - 39 out of 61 - Perhaps the most surprising thing about The Dictator is that it’s not completely terrible. There are some truly hilarious moments, and many other painful ones. If you are immune to being offended, you may enjoy this one quite a bit. Any movie that opens “In Loving Memory” to Kim Jong Il can’t be all bad, right? I’ll admit to laughing quite a bit despite having to say that this movie isn’t very good, it can be pretty enjoyable…and there are a few bust the gut laughing moments including the funniest tourist helicopter ride I could ever imagine. The Dictator isn’t great, and Sasha Baron Cohen may be dangerously close to his expiration date, but I couldn’t help but enjoy this flick…even as I fully acknowledge that it’s not very good.
