I would call this film a very easy seeing romantic movie I have ever came across.The storyline had so many surprises to it like Amira wasn't just an ordinary Muslim girl, she acted so chilled and hip unexpectedly . As for Sam, he locked a couple of teenagers to an elevator, just because he was cheesed off with them picking on him. It's a very odd twist that Sean Mullin wrote in the story. You wouldn't see a solider doing that kind of thing but I was wondering why it didn't show his flashback as soldiers would unfortunately experience.Anyways, I honestly thought Paul Wesley was James Franco. He has the attitude and the looks. He seriously needs to be in more movies and be in Franco's films. Then people will think he is James Franco's clone.Watch it peeps!

If you want to watch a movie full of romance and but completely unrealistic and devoid of the culture of Iraqi women but more importantly completely devoid of Islamic principles...then I guess this is the movie for you. When you make a movie and claim is to have an "unlikely romance" especially with an immigrant you should at least TRY to learn about the culture and Way of life of the human beings from that particular part of the world... Furthermore, the movie did not make any sense... Again, if you are into movies with an unrealistic plot then go for it...otherwise stay away..Lastly, a movie does not have to be a documentary to be a little realistic and properly portray the "way of life" of one of the characters and their background.

This film insulting Muslim women !! And insulting Iraqi women !! It seems that the aim is to tarnish the image of Islamic headscarf! Those who made the film, Are they from the first world countries, as they say ?! Where is the science and knowledge that they claim! Before you talk about the habits and traditions of others, you should learn it first and look out for it in the books then, do what your conscience dictates you! Any Arab Muslim woman will not do anything like the fake personalty in this film, She will never wear the headscarf in this way if she want to wear short pants and reveal her arms until the shoulders! this film reflect your naivety and silliness! it's disgusting

Ideally paced & tight, Amira & Sam combines a genuinely funny & touching script with pitch perfect timing & chemistry across a great cast, especially Dina Shihabi (Amira), Martin Starr (Sam), & Laith Nakli (Bassam). While the dialog keeps you laughing, the story line reminds us of the very real downstream impact & human cost of long-term military action on those who serve & the local population. The movie also serves as a great showcase for New York, with scenes ranging from the Staten Island Ferry to Coney Island. For an enjoyable 90 minutes that will keep you entertained & get you thinking, see Amira & Sam.
