Better Late Then Never
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Quite a strange movie this one, not quite sure what it was trying to achieve. From the foot fetish dentist and the stalker mistress/mum, a peeping tom school teacher and the dictator who made his way to America to seek refuge with his pen pal (all while in full uniform), this movie was just a bit of hot mess. Strangely, I couldn't stop watching this, perhaps I should of though. The cast is really wasted in this movie, can't see how or why they got involved in this one, the money couldn't have been that good. But to quote Mr Caine "You get paid the same for a bad film as you do for a good one", so maybe he did alright here. You won't laugh much, if at all here. The story is pretty poor and it will leave you questioning how some movies actually get a green light.
I can not stop watching it this is a cute movie and I love how it is like mean girls
Such a cool idea ruined by horrible writing, odd casting, and amateurish directing. This is one of those concepts that you have to try really hard to screw up because the potential is SO there to make something cute AND compelling. All I'm left wondering is WHO would have financed such garbage?
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)
