THE DICTATOR

      Ok, so about 28 minutes and 4 seconds in and I'm wondering why I'm watching this.  No intro on this film folks. Let's get right to it........SMH :-(

LET'S TALK MOVIES
 
      At this point, I take back everything I ever said about the Campaign.  This movie was the worst one I've seen this year.  As I close my eyes, put my head in my hand, and shake my head; I'm still wondering why I watched this horrible movie.  O.M.G!!!  Ok, I'm done now. 
 
      In this movie you have Sacha Baron Cohen (Aladeen/Efauadh), Ben Kingsley (Tamir), Jason Mantzoukas (Nadal), Anna Faris (Zoey).  The was a few guest appearances like Megan Fox and Edward Norton.  As I am sure many of you have seen this movie (and if you haven't, please save you money for some real comedy)  it's aout a powerful man who loses everything.  While trying to get it all back, he falls in love and signs a constitution  for a democracy and give up being a dictator. Although it had a good plot, this movie just didn't do it for me.  With all the racist and sexist jokes, I just didn't find this movie funny.  Ok, so I laughed like twice, but still, not funny.
 
      It was said by Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times that, and I quote, "Sacha Baron Cohen estabishes a claim to be the best comic film maker now working."  SMH, this man can claim all he wants, but I say, "You're just not that funny. I'm sorry, but no."  Richard Corliss of the Times says,"Infernally funny-killer jokes," and the Daily Mail says, "Verdict: Comic Genius."  Ok, sure if you like that kind of stuff.  Really?   Comic Genius?  Here's my "Verdict,"  EPIC FAILURE.  In my own opinion, just like the movies Da Ali G InDaHouse, Borat, and Bruno (in that order), this movie was on EPIC FAIL. Out of all of these movies, Da Ali G InDaHouse was "the better" one. Although I watched some of Borat, and I do mean some, I just couldn't continue watching it. In fact I told my dad he was on his won. On the other hand, I completely refuse to watch Bruno. I don't even think you could pay me to watch all of Borat nor Bruno.  In fact, the best movie that Sach Baron Cohen played in was Hugo and for that movie I give him 3 stars.  However, for the Dictator, this movie gets zero stars and 2 thumbs down.  There's nothing left to say. 
 
Til next time folks.........
