Reviews
The Dictator has garnered mixed reviews from critics, with some praising the film for its sharp wit and boundary-pushing humor. Rotten Tomatoes describes it as "a crass and often witless parody that features Sacha Baron Cohen at his most inconsistent", giving it a rating of 58%. On the other hand, IMDb users have rated the movie at a low 2.9/10, criticizing its reliance on shock value and crude jokes. Metacritic echoes the sentiment, calling it "an exercise in tasteless humor that falls flat for most of its runtime". Despite its divisive reception, The Dictator manages to deliver moments of comedic brilliance that will resonate with fans of satirical comedy.
