I would like to see movies that – for God sake – don’t talk about liberals and “muttawa’s”.. I don’t belong to either actually and I don’t see it our main concern ! Yes it is the concern of some people outside, who look at this place ONLY as the place of extremists. But it’s not the way we look at ourselves, and our people.

Now let’s look closer at the movie, the brother of the girl (Al-Turki) was wrong in the opinions of many (many) Saudi’s for most of what he did. But was he actually wrong in trying to forbid his sister from going out with that sort of dress?. The movie does not do much to us, and worse it was not funny in almost 90% of what u best described as “lame jokes”. It was good of (Al-Sairafi) to be there to add some sense of humor, the movie people owe him a lot :).

Let’s come up with movies that discuss our problems from our point of view rather than being affected so much by outsiders..

Very nice reivew I have to say… not as extream as most of the reviews about the movie (either too good or rubbish). I think it’s not a bad attempt to do something although I’m a bit reluctant to call it a movie. It is more like a long episode of a TV series or Tamtheelayah. And althought it is well known as the first saudi movie it is only about 25% saudi and as you said it did not the best cast that they could have gathered. Maybe it was because it is a first attempt and the producer did not want to push it too far with the budget.
