This movie is more than it lets on. You don't fully understand it till you get to the end. You also can't explain it without giving away what makes this movie so unique and worth seeing. It has war, religion, a love story, betrayal, and even a spy in disguise. Despite the way the trailer is set up, it's a completely relevant movie to the times we live in. They mask in humor a relevant and valid point.
Operation Belvis Bash is a lighthearted laugh ending with a satisfying punch line. While it may have it's dark political humor, the overshadowing truth is evident. Without having to get too deeply into the storyline and give away all the unique twists and turns this movie takes you on... here's my take on it.
This is a well thought out, well acted out movie. The acting is so much better than it appears in the short clips available. Corey does exceptionally well, he far exceeds what the trailer shows. Walid Amini is an excellent actor, I expect I'll be seeing him in a lot of stuff in the future.
Some of the love story was a little cheesy now and again, but isn't it OK to be a little hokey when in love?
While it may look like a typical comedy fluff piece according to the trailer. Something that was half baked and not wholly concocted. The plot finalization of this movie is what makes its genius. I can understand where the over sensitive would find some of the humor off-putting, the plot finalization brings exactly that into focus.
It is a film worth seeing if you get the chance to see it. I'm pretty sure the only reason they aren't showing it on major venues is because they are afraid of rubbing people the wrong way. Which is the ENTIRE point of this whole movie. Also it is the reason it should be seen. If you can demand it at your local theater, tweet @ them, leave messages on their facebook wall. (Hey! It will only cost you the price of a movie ticket.) This movie is more than a political jab, more than a religious jab, and even more than the jab you give to the rib cage to the guy sitting next to you as you jerk with laughter
