Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World is about an American stand up comic that gets a government assignment to find out what tickles the funny bone of Muslims. Brooks goes from audience to audience and tries American comedy on lethargic onlookers that don't seem to get it. Well of course people with a drastically different background and knowledge base will not appreciate American humor. That's the humor behind it. Brooks does a decent job, but the comedy is by design rather slow and plodding. Some funny moments, but mostly dry with no zip. If you're looking for a bunch of good laughs, skip this movie. If you're looking for a Brooks movie because you like Brooks, try this one.
