Comment on Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World (2001, USA) by Gabor

It’s quite possible that I missed tat this comedy was making fun of comedy. I just didn’t find it funny. Glad others/you did.

Another possible interpretation of the movie’s purpose could have been that there is no such thing as Muslim (or Jewish or Christian..) comedy, we all laugh on the same kind of jokes.

But not the ones that were in the movie. IMHO. YMMV.

I think you missed the point of this whole movie. I am a muslim woman and I laughed so hard at this film I had to watch it again to hear some of the dialogue. It is explained very well in the film why he goes to India and Pakistan, it is part of the joke and the fact that what you find not funny is also part of the joke. At least the people in the theater I saw this movie at got the movie as they laughed at the places the film maker intended. Did you not realize that in the show he did what the filmmaker was doing was making fun of comedy itself? To some, I think, this was apparent, but I guess to others it was not. I have seen comedies where other people were laughing but it was not my cup of tea. I guess that happens more in comedy than in drama.

Én meg a szar ízetlen paradicsomot veszem a Spanyoloktól a közértben. De jó nektek. Ja és március ide vagy oda, nálunk mínusz fokok vannak. Ki van már az ember izéje.

I just watched this movie on the plane just like you yesterday and I completely felt in love of Chloe, I have already watched her on “Inglorious Basterds” with Brad Pitt. I think she just made her perfect role play. I watched her as well in the same flight on “Le concert”. I was looking for the America title and I found your blog page. I hope this movie make it to this continent and I am definitively buying it. Mélanie, je t’aime
