Ashab wala Aaz

A very nice Egyptian-Lebanese production. Breaks a lot of taboos found in the Arab world.

Great dialogue, very amusing music, good directing. Roles are played to perfection. The setting, décor and camera is adding up to the suspens and the build up of the stories.

Set in just one location, great use of the different places in it.

Having friends for Dinner is generally a good idea. Laying all the cards on the table (relationship wise) and hoping the secrets each individual is holding back will not "ruin" the party ... well that is just plain ridiculous. And not thought through one might add.

Having said that and if you can suspend your disbelief and work with the cliches we are presented, the actors are doing their best. We have some lighter moments, but also a lot of darker moments, that overshadow a lot. Depending on your mood and how you will take and interpret things ... well every end is a beginning. And every beginning is an ... end? Not sure about that one. Anyway, be prepared for a lot of dialog and a lot of "exposure" (not physical that is)...

A real realistic movie that simulates what we live in our time, and no one can deny that what the movie narrated is really our reality...! Worth watching.

I loved the original movie, but I was a little disappointed in this version, copying and pasting the same script isn't a good idea when the cultures differ, it would have been more creative to add a little originality to the script. Aside from that the actors did a great job.. enjoyable movie.

Since I've seen the French version of the original Italian movie, Perfect Strangers, the story of this Arabic remake isn't new to me but it is still so enjoyable. I was completely involved by the interesting conversations with all its nice topics and implications. The cast is brilliant, everyone gives superb outstanding performance. All in all, it's fun, intriguing, captivating and highly entertaining.
