Does anyone know what time the film starts... because it says 18:45 on the ticket but is it actually going to start at that time?

Tweet from Cineworld cinema

Regional premieres of The Dictator this evening. All hail General Aladeen on the red carpet from 6.15 film at 7. Failure to attend is unwise

maybe you'll be lucky and it'll be too full and they'll give you tickets to see another (much better) film ;)

I didn't like Borat that much, but I really enjoyed Bruno, and I am the age range that they are targeting, so hopefully I will get to see it, but if not i'm not really bothered!

Just got back from watching this. similar comedy to Borat... But there was 1 scene where my friend and I laughed so much! My throat hurts, can't remember the last time I laughed so much! The other stuff was average funny, overall pretty much as expected.

That was silly!
Of course not everything was fun, but I had some very sincere belly laughs... few times!

That will definitely not be everybody's taste, but I am quite simple minded and don't take offence easily, so it was absolutely perfect for me!

7/10

Lame! The helicopter scene was hilarious and there were a few other really funny gags but on the whole, pretty darn shite.
And I'm a massive Sasha Baron Cohen fan too, just like Da West Staines Massiv, innit.
