At the time of writing this movie had a review score of 3.2/10. I don't think this is fair at all. Something tells me it might have been review bombed which might have in-turn made people give it a perfect score to compensate.
Speculation aside, I did have low expectations for this movie. Tamer's music is quite basic/shallow and it is not unreasonable to expect his movies to be the same. But a few unexpected things happened and I ended up watching it at the cinema with my partner (I did not want to watch it).
I was surprised. It was actually good. Tamer was calm, the jokes were very funny and the story had some depth. Of course it is not perfect, it is far far from perfect (some scenes were not funny but just bizarre, the visual effects were quite amateur, the moral lessons were not subtle and the makeup/airbrushing was extreme on many of the actors). But judging by the the kind of stuff that Egyptian cinema churns out today this is very good and I think Tamer should be proud. I am happy I went to see it.
