Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Gary GoldsteinDespite its brief running time, the film feels padded by sightseeing footage and a warm but diversionary visit between Ahmed and his Cairo-area relatives. Still, Just Like Us proves an amusing, uniquely unifying effort.
Washington Examiner - 7/10 by Kelly Jane TorranceIt offers an honest look at a region about which most Americans know little.
Detroit News - 7/10 by Tom LongThroughout it all Ahmed is relentlessly upbeat, and he seems to have good reason to be. Yes, he's trying to sell an idea, but it's probably an idea well worth selling.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by Kirk HoneycuttThe movie is fast, funny and light on its feet, dipping less into politics or religion than into cultural quirks and characteristics.
Variety - 7/10 by John AndersonFunny, thoughtful and, with its quasi-travelogue voiceover by helmer-comedian Ahmed Ahmed, best suited for a cable outlet that won't cut the vulgarity upon which so much depends.
Film Journal International - 6/10 by David NohImportant, heartwarming and highly informative documentary about bringing humor to the Arab/Muslim world, which-surprise!-is not at all humorless.
Time Out - 6/10 by Matthew LoveThe result is not so much a documentary as an engaging, if didactic, travelogue with embedded yuks.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisA laudable if lightweight argument for broader minds and thicker skins.
Boston Globe - 6/10 by Wesley MorrisThe idea that self-mockery makes people relax is tricky. One man's disarmament is another's minstrelsy, and the fine line is well worth another documentary.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Andrew SchenkerThe film is largely effective as a breezy travelogue. Still, Ahmed plays the "Muslims, they're just like us" bit a little too hard, pointedly ignoring the obvious parallels between the "freedom" provided by imported stand-up and the endless McDonald's signs that flicker throughout the region.
