Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World (2005)
Disappointing!

Tonight I watched the worldwide premiere of this movie at the Second Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) with Mr. Brooks attending. It was naturally a full house but I suspect this film will fade in obscurity quite fast. To start with, it was not funny. And it had nothing really to do with the Muslim World; after all the movie concentrates on India where Muslims are a minority. Finally the plot itself is flimsy and I kept wondering how could Mr. Brooks stretch it to a full length feature. And I find using such a controversial title a cheap way to draw inquisitive crowds. The movie has really very little to do with the DIFF motto of bridging cultures.
