JUST LIKE US

June 21st, 2011

JUST LIKE US- 2010. Synopsis by Netflix. “Laid-back Egyptian American comic Ahmed Ahmed breaks down the “Arabic concept,” Swingers style, in this film tour through the Middle East, wielding the global currency of comedy to skewer stereotypes of Arabs and Jews alike. Whether in nouveau Dubai or historic Riyadh, New York or Los Angeles, Ahmed and his tour mates, including Maz Jobrani and Tom Papa, handle religion, politics and other heavy matters with intelligence and a maximum of cool.” Only a fair review in NY Times on 6/10/11 and slightly better than average reviews in general, most saying that the concept was better than the execution. TRDB.
