I wish there was more originality in the first Netflix Arab film. A copied version of a movie that's been already copied and pasted several times within the last few years isn't something original.

A good dialogue could've made this better. However the dialogue is unrealistic, awkward and cringy. Yes many Arabs are heavy drinkers and gay and promiscuous and these topics need to be discussed, but just throwing them there in the script without any sophistication doesn't make this movie any better.

Please- we need more original work that is realistic even if it's controversial. This film was silly and insulting to anyone's intelligence. The acting was excellent though. 4/10.

Since I've seen the French version of the original Italian movie, Perfect Strangers, the story of this Arabic remake isn't new to me but it is still so enjoyable. I was completely involved by the interesting conversations with all its nice topics and implications. The cast is brilliant, everyone gives superb outstanding performance. All in all, it's fun, intriguing, captivating and highly entertaining.

If they take the idea of the movie and build a new script it will be so interesting with those stars, but wtf that is copy paste here from another community.

Can you imagine hollywood take an original stroy from the Middle East and make it their? That's illogical.

2 star for the acting.

1 star for the underwear of mona zaki 😆

I loved the original movie, but I was a little disappointed in this version, copying and pasting the same script isn't a good idea when the cultures differ, it would have been more creative to add a little originality to the script. Aside from that the actors did a great job.. enjoyable movie.

Having friends for Dinner is generally a good idea. Laying all the cards on the table (relationship wise) and hoping the secrets each individual is holding back will not "ruin" the party ... well that is just plain ridiculous. And not thought through one might add.

Having said that and if you can suspend your disbelief and work with the cliches we are presented, the actors are doing their best. We have some lighter moments, but also a lot of darker moments, that overshadow a lot. Depending on your mood and how you will take and interpret things ... well every end is a beginning. And every beginning is an ... end? Not sure about that one. Anyway, be prepared for a lot of dialog and a lot of "exposure" (not physical that is)...
