That sounds like a totally F-ed up movie. I've never liked him anyways.

Damn, I just saw the trailer for that. Looks horrible. I thought it was a documentary but instead its a cheap romantic comedy with an apparent 20 year old sexy Hindu as Albert Brooks' love interest? Ugh.

Can I make a suggestion? Before giving a movie your PC disapproval see the movie first.

ive lived in a muslim country for over half my life and its pretty much 50/50 on the whole anti-jewish thing. some muslims like them some dont.
the movie may sound shit but does everything that seems 'over-the-top' or 'shocking and daring' offend you?
i bet youre one of the people that worships michael moore and sits in a box all day chanting "there is no outside world! there is no outside world!"

what did you think about munich? i saw it as zionist, but apparently i'm in a minority?

hey kkitchen,

I thought the film was clearly Zionist and pro-Israel as well. There's an excellent critique that will be online on Monday that I can provide a link to when it goes up.

I thought it could have been a lot worse, and I think Tony Kushner had a large role in keeping on the "acceptable" level. But it really presented another rewriting of history according to the Israeli standpoint. According to the film, though both sides commit bloody acts, it is only the Israelis in the film who think through their deeds, contemplate right and wrong and are "forced" to act because of the Palestinians.

I can understand why it pissed off the pro-Israel side, and I can understand why people liked it as good filmmaking, but I don't think it was fair or accurate or representative, and that's how I approach these things.

I haven't seen the movie but from what I understand a lot of the jokes are about how the people don't get his humor.

So basically it's another movie about how people from different cultures don't understand each other, hoe fucking original.

I saw a clip, it contianed the 'Muslims hate Jews' "jokes."

This movie seemed to start with a good concept. Way to lame the shit out of it.

Oh and drydock, nobody's passes full judgement on the movie without seeing it (a la every conservative on F9/11). What you see here is called inquisitive speculation.

Albert Brooks isn't even a "has been" he's a "never was"! I've never been able to watch more than 10 minutes of reruns of anything he's done. If we're to have censorship in America let's start with this asshole.

I live in India and I would agree it's definitely can not be classified as part of the 'Muslim world' neither can it be classified by any religion because India is constitutionally secular. It's strange when movies insinuate religion in their plot line and draw upon people uncalled for insecurities and derive 'so called' humour from them.
