Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter -
Playful, irreverent and unafraid to be politically incorrect, the pair script with assurance and direct with stylish understatement, pairing character and physical comedy to entertaining effect.

RogerEbert.com -
The just-shy-of-great teen comedy Dear Dictator is the rare high-concept coming-of-age story with enough warmth and smart-ass charm to (hopefully!) make it accessible for a fairly wide cross-section of moviegoers.

Movie Nation -
If the filmmakers were as ballsy in scripting it as they had in asking Michael Caine to co-star in it, they’d have had something.

Variety -
Pleasant enough to watch, even innocuous, Dear Dictator is something that gets worse the more you think about it.
|
|
Village Voice -
Although the filmmakers name-check and appear to draw inspiration from Mean Girls, they’ve missed the mark on truly biting satire, leaving Dear Dictator toothless and silly.
