No laughs and just made us cringe at how bad everything about it was, decided it wasn't worth persevering but seeing as it has a reasonable score and I missing something - is it worth giving it another shot?
Got fed up around the "ahhh America, birthplace of AIDs" "joke".
please don't comment on the content of a movie you have not watched, also why do people like you start forum topics and never respond? why the *beep* did you make the topic in the first place? useless waste of internet space
i've watched thsi twice cause my friends keep wanting to watch it lol & its just *beep* weird but dont take it seriously, or dont even bother lol doesn't matter!
Excellent point. It wasn't funny in the beginning but if you stick around most of my laughs came in the last 30 minutes. Not for the easily offended but a lot of clever topical jokes. 4 out of 10.
Great thread! I came here to check out the ratings...and was tempted to rate it myself. Then I remembered I quit watching it because it wasn't worth my time. Now, keep in mind, I've wasted A LOT of time on movies in my life, so it's saying something when I give up on one.
Why am I posting? Well, I went back to try to finish this film and guess where I had bailed out? 13 minutes!
I'm going to try to suffer through it, so I can come back and give it the really crappy rating it deserves.
OK. There. I've just finished it. If you've turned it off after the first 10 minutes here's some advice: don't waste your time.
Upon resuming the film I found myself hopeful because the film took an interesting turn with the "Dictator" being ousted by his second in command and wit-less double, but sadly even this change does nothing to salvage this wreck.
2/10 (one star for every minute it was funny...and I'm being generous)
No. Watch Chaplin's The Great Dictator instead. It's what this was ripped off from so horribly. Charlie's film is funnier, smarter, better written and much more moving.
I thought that 90 minutes wasn't enough. People say it's stereotypical but I thought it was intentional. Besides I'm from a country that doesn't understand the sensitiveness of the stereotypes mentioned. So I guess all I got what fresh humor mixed with smart political views.
If you don't stand the movie then don't bother forcing yourself. Everyone has their preferences.
Anybody who can't even get through the first ten minutes of this movie shouldn't bother watching the rest. It wasn't meant for you. I laughed from start to finish, it was great.
