★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide Wednesday 5/16 - Sacha Baron Cohen is a fearless actor, never
ceasing to impress with how far he'll go to sell his characters and their
personas. When "The Dictator" wants to make a point, it does. When it
doesn't, it moves steadily between strikingly clever and disappointingly
immature.

★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Now on Blu-ray/DVD - "Mother's Day" is nothing if not affecting and
effective. Reactions will be split down the middle, depending on the
viewer's endurance for tough material, but no one can say the filmmaker
didn't achieve what he set out to.
