Review of Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World (2006) by Bernie L — 14 Oct 2006
Great concept, poorly executed.
The movie has nothing to do with "Finding Comedy..." It is about the ineptitude of the U.S. Gov in handling multicultural issues. Al Brooks is actually making fun of himself by demonstrating why he would be the worst person to take on a task like that, not to mention what a bad idea it is in the 1st place. Ok that said... The downside is, Al Brooks is not funny. Yes, I know he is not supposed to be funny in the movie, but the movie still should have been funny. More of stuff with the state dept guys would have helped. I really felt that they were going somewhere with the girls boyfriend wanting to do comedy, but they just dropped it.
