Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 5/10 --
While Michael Caine is always fun to watch, unfortunately, the pacing/editing is not on a par with the writing. The satire should have been sharper and more subversive.

Rating: 3/10 --
Dear Dictator makes you hope for something subversive, and there occasional flashes of potential, but then it always falls back into the easiest, most obvious route.

Under the Radar
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.

Life hacks from a warm and fuzzy dictator. What's not to loathe?

3 stars out of 4 -- DEAR DICTATOR is the rare high-concept coming-of-age story with enough warmth and smart-ass charm to make it accessible for a fairly wide cross-section of moviegoers.

Pleasant enough to watch, even innocuous, "Dear Dictator" is something that gets worse the more you think about it.

Variety
The film's premise seems loaded with comic possibilities, but silly scenes overwhelm the story. Plus, Michael Caine is dreadfully miscast.
