Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World (2005)
It should first be noted that this movie is NOT a documentary. So if you are under the impression that a man actually went to "the Muslim World" to actually find out what makes Muslims laugh, you are wrong!This movie has a "plot" which sucks terribly. No one should waste their time watching this movie. I feel quite awful having to say this, as the main actor, Albert Brooks (the voice of Nemo's father in "Nemo"), seems like a nice enough guy...
But this movie just sucked (and that's an understatement). It wasn't funny (had maybe a total of 3 semi-funny one-liner jokes), it dragged on and on, and the ending was just so incredibly lame.
Definitely a 1 out of 5 stars. Sorry Albert!

So the the 3 semi-funny one-liner jokes = 1 star?
I actually liked this movie. I thought it was pretty funny too!
What about the scene, where the Pakistani Muslims kidnap Albert, as a joke (because it's what they expect from Muslims), and his friends on the border between Pakistan and India fear for his life? LOOL - It totally addresses the stereotypes.
Or what about when he's looking for a receptionist, and the Muslim woman in burqa keeps asking, "Are you a Jew"!? LOL!
I don't know, I really enjoyed it. Out of 5, I'd give it 5 (perhaps i like boring movies!?). Before I forget, I loved the ending!!! Honest, it was so funny. Definitely something I'd recommend.
I was gonna give it ZERO stars, but I wanted to be nice, but trust me, it doesn't even deserve one star lol
anonymous,
Who are you? You'd give it a 5?!?! Almost everyone who has seen it has hated this movie as it was utterly boring and the plot was so incredibly lame!! Now I'm curious to know who you are lol :P Its ok, everyone has different taste!!
Hey Sarah,
would you help me out in something plz? considering the fact that you're a "book worm" :P. Anyway, I would really appreciate it if you could recommend me a book of LITERARY value , where character, plot, theme. etc are emphasized on. you know what i am sayin'? like I don't want some mystery/horror books and of that sort, as there isn't really any indepth analysis given to the character, theme and such.
Hope I was clear lol.
Thanks a bunch in advance.
salam
Books of Literary value:
One Hundred Years of Solitude
By Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The Confessions of Max Tivoli
-Andrew Sean Greer
The Great Gatsby
-F Scott Fitzgerald
A Separate Peace (great book)
-John Knowles
I guess these are enough suggestions for now! :)
I hated this movie. Worthless. Sad and Pathetic.
The Great Gatsby :/ ...don't tell me all literary books are like that book.. Separate Peace sounds nice..will check them out later insh'Allah.
Thanks a bunch Sarah!! :) Much appreciated.
