Let me start by saying that I LOVE the Muslim setting of this movie. I actually chose to watch this because I wanted to learn more about Ramadan. If only this had been a cute take on that and the lovely sorry.
Unfortunately it fell prey to every bad movie Cliché, bad writing and horrible acting. Let me just say that this perspective is from a gay man who teaches professional actors and performs musical theatre....
First of all let's take the super annoying over the top gay best friend. Please stop portraying us all like this! You could play a drinking game with the amount of times someone says "girl" or screams when someone they know walks in a room. Of course he has to have a big gay party with all of us hot, gay, shallow friends. (Of course we can't not have the gym scene where the gay friend makes his friend walk because he wants to do it with the hot DJ)
The writing, "keep saving those patients" "you've been watching too much Grey's Anatomy." Really??!! The pacing is horrible. Things come from nowhere. Sob stories
People awkwardly singing or breaking into song where the actor is clearly uncomfortable (you can throw in movie quotes into that too). Yes we get it you like musicals ...I do too! But not that much.
Acting...Aw man..the guy playing MO is not a good actor. If he were in my class I'd say "no charisma." No believability..lines feel forced.
This is labeled as a "comedy" funny that it's not funny at all!
