I will give two stars for effort.The movie is cliché, its not new. Maybe its a new way of making "Arab" films, but the film itself is not new. Minus extreme sexual innuendos, remove the English language and you get A to B. A hard try to create an Emirati image in the Arab cinema, but blatantly struggles to be original. The only Emirati film I can fully recognize as a well thought and properly executed attempt was "Zinzana" (Rattle the Cage) by Majid Al Ansari. As an Emirati myself, I feel we should just make films for the sake of making them but for the sake of innovation. Its a sad attempt for Ali F. Mostafa, but my respects still for making a movie at all. Hats off to effort. But I'd like my money back.

one of the best movies I have seen in the last 5 years .the combination of the three young actors is very successful ,they have some kind of magic and harmony . the plot is so funny and it's also dramatic . the movie presents the relation among the different individuals and the the ideas and the countries in new ways .every character in the movie has its own effect on me ,everyone of them has its private story ,you always want to know more about them . the soundtracks are amazing ,this movie has a great collection of good songs and music from all over the world . i really can't get enough from this movie , it has it all . I hope to see more from the crew in the future .

Cinematography wise for an Arabic movie, which I found the greatest factor in the movie, it was made by a professional, Michel Dierickx did an excellent job. The story seems to be genuine from a Middle Eastern point of view, although the dialog wasn't its great factor, which I feel in fact affected the acting roles, Ramy (Shadi Alfons) was maybe the best in acting, his script was fit his role and his character. Youssef or J (Fahad Albutairi) he maintained his amazing humor, his character was a stereotypical rich spoiled Saudi "outside the border", did a fine job in the face expressionism, as of Omar (Fadi Rifaai) I'm sadly disappointed in his acting in general, specially too much drama and sensitivity, However he did pull few time a great job of showing love.Ali F. Mostafa is never the less is a great director, he worked on many projects including the firs Emirati film City of Life, his choices like appearances of cameo and a real American actress Madeline Zima as Samantha. The movie had too much Hollywood inputs and technique of humor and fast paste editing, not to say it as negative, but not original. The English language in the script is a factor which i don't like in general, BUT i feel that it was actually a smart decision for two reasons. One, it will be more cheesy and lame if it were to be told in Arabic, the second and i think its the main reason, lot of sexual and inside joke that will sound very offensive, which is not in the English literature. in conclusion, the movie point out lots of social issue and tried to express it in different point of view. lots of liberal moment and reactions. The movie showed lots of smart subtext in the story and commercially too.

WARNING Spoiler Alert > I find the movie an average one. Not as I imagined it would be. I feel that they got inspired from "Due Date" movie and copied a lot of ideas and script. The whole movie is about going on a road trip to visit their friend's grave and when they finally made it..nothing really was interesting or making a sense happened. And as usual they added offensive scenes just to sell the movie which were against Islam and Arabs cultures but for them they will always defend its just a movie while a movie is really nothing but the ugly truth of those hypocrites. Anyway, I write a comment which was so polite and reflects my opinion on one of the actors in the movie, Fahad who immediately deleted it and blocked my account and this really shows how an amateur actor he is and will always be as long as he can not accept that there will always be different opinions and if he can't deal with it professionally he will keep taking things personally and forget the fact that thriving for fame is a long road surrounded by viewers support and if he thinks he can reach to fame alone then I advise him to be his only fan.
