Askar fi el-mu'askar

This one takes you all over the other side of Egypt...and along the way you get to see a warped wedding, a whacked-out belly dance routine, and a shaabi wedding. Lots of fun...definitely not the Yacoubian Building, but it ain't supposed to be... Hanaidi is good in his role as the soldier. The actor who played Hassan the Perfumer was my favorite, right up there with Rodney Dangerfield at his most whacked out. The other straight men performed admirably - particularly the father. Watch out for the cab-driver - if you've ever taken a black-and-white in Cairo this character may seem eerily familiar.

Highly recommended, particularly for non-Egyptian tourists.
