Review of Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World (2006) by Paulc. — 26 Jan 2006

As one of the industry reviews above clearly states..India isn't a Muslim country It's a secular state, though predominantly Hindu and Sikh Despite the secular nature, there's one religion that definately DOES NOT describe India - and that's Muslim ! Partition was a painful and deadly process process - one that this "comedian" seems blisfully unaware of.

Are American's that un-worldly as to just put all other religions in the "other" pile ? As for this (lets face it MASSIVE) error the film itself : Well it's just not funny, I watched it for the first time not realising that it was supposed to be (having never heard of Mr Brookes before) As a review said 2 funny bits (just about funny enough to curl your mouth at the edges) I re-watched the film (on FF) and can agree .

.it's 2 and only 2 very mildly funny bits in the whole fiasco of what boils down to one mans ego boost at the expense of everything else. This isn't satire - it's self indulgence on a grand and entirely unfoundable scale.

If I could give this film a minus score I would.
