Movie Review: The Dictator
Comedians have a shelf life. A comedian develops a comic persona, audiences respond (favorably or they slip back into obscurity) and the comedian revisits that comic persona repeatedly for five, six, or even 10 years until audiences respond with contempt or indifference, leaving the comedian with only one of two alternatives: (1) reinvent him- or herself or (2) face a diminished future as a semi-forgotten celebrity selling cheaply made, overpriced products on late-night infomercials.
