Has anyone seen The Dictator?

[reddaisy]

I liked Borat but I didn't like Bruno. We might be able to manage a couple of DC free hours soon but the reviews online are very mixed.

I saw it, and didn't think it was that great. There were some funny moments, but also some stuff I personally found unpleasant, e.g. jokes about rape and child sex abuse. I think you would need to be of the "anything goes in the name of comedy" school of thought to fully enjoy it.

I think I will give it a miss then as anything that trivialises either of those two issues will definitely get my back up. Thanks.

Bloody hell! I didn't know that
DS is going to see that in an hour with his friend, as a birthday treat.
The other boy's already here.

I saw it last night, there were some funny bits but nothing like as good as Borat. I'm surprised it wasn't rated 18 due to the content - don't know how he gets away with it!!

[SauvignonBlanche]

Oh no, what can I do?
Pretend both cars have broken down?

[DerbyNottsLeicsNightNanny]

How old is your ds?

[SauvignonBlanche]

15, as is his friend.
He's all excited at seeing a 15 cert film, at the cinema for the first time.

[SauvignonBlanche]

Problem solved.
DH just called, the cinema wouldn't let them in as neither DS or his friend had photographic ID.
for DS though, he was looking forward to it.

I remember that happening to me when I was 15 - I was irate! He will be feeling mortified so be gentle with him

[SauvignonBlanche]

DH took them bowling and we're going out for dinner.

rather worryingly I assumed this thread was about the Charlie Chaplin film....

Except thats Great ( in both ways)
