This movie could have been called "Looking for a plot, in this movie..."
The jokes were funny. Its Albert Brooks, of course they are funny. He's hilarious. But its a lot like EVERY CHRIS ROCK MOVIE EVER MADE...Its just a stand up routine stuck into a movie...
Don't get me wrong, I laughed, but I also spent a lot of time scratching my head wondering: "How did he get from Fred Thompson's office to Bombay so quickly?" and "That's it? That's the end? What the hell!"
But between such thoughts I laughed...
If you don't own the Albert Brooks Live DVD box set (if such a beast exists) and you're dying to hear a Jew make some Muslim jokes in a movie (and Jew jokes), check this movie out. Otherwise, wait for it on DVD, or VOD, or whatever you're into these days.
Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World gets 1.5 Stars, on the back of Albert Brooks being a funny-son-of-a-bitch.
Don't forget our handy star system:
4-Stars: "Knock the guy in front of you in line over the head with your umbrella, thus increasing your odds of getting tickets."
3-Stars: "Think about hitting the guy, but let it slide...This time."
2-Stars: "If there is a line, go rent a movie."
1-Star: "Hit yourself over the head before you leave the house, thus increasing your odds of not having to sit through this crap."
Stay Tuned...
