Starts good

[quevaal · 6/10 · 30 December 2023]

On the surface this is a comedy about Mahmoud who is growing up in Oslo as a boy of Pakistani parents. The first part of the movie works very well by showing the differences between Norway and Pakistan in a light hearted way. For a comedy the characters are also quite complex. The uncle who visits from Pakistan is a good opportunity to dig more into the differences. Jokes are hitting in every direction so this works quite well.

Mahmoud's younger brother Ali then appears to be identifying as a girl and this changes the movie from a comedy that hits in every direction to a very one directional movie. Their father is raging while even uncle Ji becomes very understanding.

So, we can all see where this story is going which flattened an otherwise good movie.

Amazing Adaptation!

[KFstudios2009 · 9/10 · 14 September 2023]

Based on the amazing comedy book by Gulraiz Sharif, and amazingly directed by Kaveh Tehrani, this movie was an absolutely fantastic adaptation, where we got many iconic scenes from the book, while introducing new aspects and new characters. A moral about that family is the most important and that you have to be yourself, did the job in this film. A moral we are getting strong in front of our faces. The music soundtrack and build-up of the movie was great, the acting was extraordinary, my personal favorites was Mahmoud (The Main Character) and his uncle, they both played so realistic and funny, as well as the other actors, that also was great. They introduced us a new character that wasn't in the book, Arisha, she is a new girl that wasn't expected, and it is obvious that Mahmoud likes her, so they showed us a small love connection between these two, that wasn't needed but overall it was ok. The whole idea to show how some Norwegian people act and how they behavior is, was showed in a good, ironic and funny way, as well as the foreigners compared themselves to Norwegian people, with spicy and not spicy food, and how much money they have, they have higher, and the foreigners had lower, that was showed in this movie. Not every Norwegian is like these in the movie, but they showed a bigger group of Norwegian that act liked that and what was "Real Norwegian". I think that concept in the book and movie was very funny, with good exaggeration. This movie was very clever and delivers us a big message about being yourself and never give up on your dreams. They also showed that to stay together as a family is stronger than being alone about something, they really showed that family connection in this movie, that I really liked. They showed that they cared about each other, and loved each other very much. To summary, this movie was a very good adaptation to the book, many similarities, some differences, that I liked, some differences was not the best, but ok, and I think that this movie is one of the best book adaptations I know about, very great and I recommend this movie very much!

Waste of time!

Bad script, bad acting and bad comedy. Have nothing to do with reality.

Looks like story from 30 years back. Low budget of this film can bhi easily exposed. Story have nothing special, they are trying to tell story of modern day but its look like a family living in Norway in 80's. Family who have moved there and lived there past few years with low iq and zero knowledge. Even dialogues er bad, actors have no chemistry and looks like they even dont no what they are really doing in the film. This film cant get 7 on imbd, only parents, family members and friends have tried to support the film!

Wast of time..
