Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

davidmantle If there was ever a send up of Fidel Castro then this is it. Shame about the rest of the film - not half as funny as it could of been.. As a Castro lookalike he is brilliant but when he saved and went "Mexican" what were the filmmakers thinking. When Micheal Caine made Jaws 3 he admitted it was to build a house - so poor was the film but the paycheck is a different matter. With this he either made a conservatory or bought a new car. I doubt if the budget spread to another house.

carlton_whitney I saw the previews to this and thought it might actually be a cute movie... i was wrong. When I see Jason Biggs I think of the funny scenes in American pie, this movie had nothing funny. Katie Holmes was just not convincing and I found her character a bit disgusting. I can't believe Mr. Cane agreeded to do this film. In all it was a good movie to waste time to but just wouldn't recommend.

arriebellekinney I love the movie and I loved the message behind it. And what it stand for. I can not stop watching it.

adonis98-743-186503 When political turmoil forces a British-Caribbean dictator to flee his island nation, he seeks refuge and hides with a rebellious teenage girl in suburban America, and ends up teaching the young teen how to start a revolution and overthrow the "mean girls" in her high school. Dear Dictator is a comedy that missed the mark completely since it's not funny, the characters are boring and some of the perfomances aren't that good especially Katie Holmes who acts like a 2-year old and can't be taken serious. Overall this film was quite low for Caine's amazing movie career. (0/10)
