From A to B

A Movie about three young men who are going in a road trip to honor their dead friend's memory, The Movie's event is about the conflict of thinking in the Arab counties, As they passed by Saudi Arabia, The officer who were searching their Bags, He saw a t-shirt of an English club which means that young man supporting an foreign team instead of supporting a Saudi team, That Drove Him mad as He didn't See the Alcoholic Bottle, Which is forbidden in This country. This movie also shows the conflict between the Arabs and the Israeli. As During The road trip these guys saw two young beautiful ladies, They offered them a help but they didn't want to. and the Egyptian guy right after knowing that they are Israeli He left. They were also discussing the situation in Syria and how people were treated by the armed forces. and how they finally reached their friend's grave to honor his memory. in general the movie was good except of the unnecessary Obscene language.

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.

The film uses a well worn theme of a group of friends making a road trip but who are challenged by a few common "Middle Eastern" problems along the way. It is not well done. The script is poorly written and very superficial, and the acting is at the level of a high school drama production. While this may be some attempt to show "modernization" of privileged youth in the Emirates, it is not a representation of actual life there. Hopefully, there will be better productions from this part of the world in the future!

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
