This picture is a great start for Godus brothers into this industry and it was their natural development from content creator in YouTube into film makers, i wish them much more success and many more movies in the future as our culture has a lot of stories haven't been told yet on the big screen.
As they did in "Predicament in Sight", this story is personal to the creators, it represent a true picture of the 2010 era in KSA and Saudi people specially who lived in Jeddah will connect directly with the story and the characters who were nicely written and well acted. The journey our characters took to create the film was lots fun, i sympathized with the struggle they went through and loved how the coincidence with Mr. Orabi was a factor for their film to be created, not everything in life is planned. The comedy was good, i laughed a lot and enjoyed the comedy that came from the characters themselves specially Mr. Orabi and Maan were really funny characters and actors . There were couple of sequences beautifully shot and edited and it gave me a thrill, the camera work in general was fantastic. The throw back to the original Saudi YouTube programs like EyshElly and 15 to 9 who made an actual cameo was hilarious, I couldn't believe they brought back Mohammed Bazaid! the guy made a company like 6 years ago and disappeared. i liked how they used the bad language as people are actually using and they did not try to make the dialog looks clean as we usually do in movies/TV series yet the language wasn't that bad. Also the animation scenes were really nice addition to represent what's going on in Hussam's mind, loved it. From the story point of view i wished I'd spent more time with the characters before Mr. Orabi's accident happens specially with Orabi himself, i wanted to hate him and laugh at him more before he joins the team lol . I loved the ending, their film was crap and they knew it but their passion was true and they kept developing, until one day they reach to the level they will accept as a critics, to themselves. I should give Baraa Alem a credit for his performance as he showed a good acting and emotional range for his first role that made him the true star of the movie, i hope we see more of him and wish him best luck in his new career.
The down sides for me that sometimes the events were a little bet messy specially during the shooting of the film scenes. The voices were not clear in some shots.
In general it was a funny enjoyable movie, i had a blast watching & experiencing it and time flew by, worth the time and the money and what a come back to cinemas after these dreadful months. I'll definitely watch it again.
