From A to B

I will definitely say that it was a nice try to change the type of Arabic movies, but I just couldn't feel it. I was excited at the beginning because it was recommended to me by friends, but I was disappointed. The only good thing in the movie is the acting, music and the directing. The story and the script didn't add anything new to the cinema industry. The script contains a lot of Western type of lines and cliché, the Arabic references were good but not enough tho. I liked the cursing, the drinking and the sexual content, but it did not fill the gaps in the story really well to make it feel more middle eastern, basically it didn't reflect the reality of the middle east in a very accurate way, but I still believe that Arabic movies should add them in today's movies. In conclusion, as long as Hollywood is still producing movies, the Arabic movies industry should not worry about the Arabic audience, and they should take their time to produce a film that can reach an international level with more realistic expectations.

I won't go into the story to avoid spoilers and because the first reviewer did an excellent short summary. I thought at the beginning that it was going to be only a light "road movie" with some interesting irony and wit (especially the twitter activist character, and "eager to please" whereas towards the end there is some added thought and depth and this given the movie a new, and positive dimension. I found the acting generally good with some exceptions which are more average. Interesting to see how a moderate Arab country like the UAE perceives the divergent situations the Arab world is living in, and how distant lives in those countries can be. A fresh look at also how close our lifestyles are becoming worldwide (except where there is war).

I will give two stars for effort.

The movie is cliché, its not new. Maybe its a new way of making "Arab" films, but the film itself is not new. Minus extreme sexual innuendos, remove the English language and you get A to B. A hard try to create an Emirati image in the Arab cinema, but blatantly struggles to be original.

The only Emirati film I can fully recognize as a well thought and properly executed attempt was "Zinzana" (Rattle the Cage) by Majid Al Ansari.

As an Emirati myself, I feel we should just make films for the sake of making them but for the sake of innovation.

Its a sad attempt for Ali F. Mostafa, but my respects still for making a movie at all.

Hats off to effort.

But I'd like my money back.

Don't let the rating fool you, this is sold work with great Charachter development. It's real, gutsy, and original work. This tells a tale of everyday people of the current generation, much more real than 90% of the typical Arab movies. Will make you laugh, and tear up. I really enjoyed this movie and would recommend it for what it is. Let's encourage more of this work.

Bravo team.

Different from other Arabic films, The Director is very strong and has great experience, and we enjoyed working like make a movie House district, Mustafa filmmaker Emirati and UAE's expected audience closer to the UAE and the GCC community, Movie from Abu Dhabi to Beirut with the soul comedy to action heroes, beautiful idea, and always looking for public road movies and desires, Our criticism is not great, but absolutely sure that the Director is keen to move on Its for the better, We hope the new more exciting and suspense and Emirati and Gulf representatives renewed love film challenge We want the Director focus on behind the scenes, industry and business workshops for beginner filmmakers, publishing experience, and no doubt that interest would be great
