Most helpful review The Infidel

  • Omid as his usual brilliant self!

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This movie was a pleasure to watch!Religion and related subjects are taken so seriously these days, that for me it was just a breath of fresh air that someone had the brilliant idea to make a movie addressing the issue.Omid was brilliant as always, although he is at his best being funny. The very serious parts were believable but a little too theatrical and over the top. But the movie worked for me.With people in Britain becoming so over PC about everything it seems, it's really a necessity to make more movies like this. Being able to laugh at matters that we deem serious is important AND Healthy.Having said that, I noticed a few people get up and leave in the middle of the movie, no doubt 'offended' (why go and see the movie then?), still I guess some people were just not blessed with a sense of humour!I do hope they find a solution to their predicament: being able to laugh at oneself and at life is a concept to be upheld and applauded!

    Good idea but let down by unacceptable frequent use of bad language. Apparently the characters cannot avoid using the word 'f**k' in nearly every sentence. Sad.

    I thought this film was really funny... Too much swearing for me but I laughed a lot... I'm a Muslim convert so I might be biased however I think it is very entertaining for all.

    Light hearted look at the differences between religions which can cause conflict, when there are so many similarities!

    Some hilarious moments - a well written, superbly acted film.
