MA NOTE

On his 36th birthday, the underachieving Youssef finds himself alienated from his friends and family for being single, penniless and with no ambition; he leaves his small town and moves to Beirut to start anew. While living out of his car, relying on both his quick wit and a bulletproof business plan, he obsesses about becoming the greatest taxi driver in
the city.

Prowling the streets at night in his impeccable 1966 Benz, he meets Jordan, a bored American pilates instructor working at a twenty four hour gym with no customers; both disillusioned with their careers and sharing a similar dissatisfaction with their personal lives, they form an unlikely bond. With his passion for telling stories of a past time, and her desire to hear them, together they cruise through the back alleys of Beirut celebrating hope, resilience, and the healing powers of storytelling.

Like a taxi, the film is all over the map!

This is a film that lacks focus. It tries to tell many stories but ends up telling none! The acting and dialog are childish and there is no character development. The viewer ends up not knowing who any of the characters are, or their role in the film. Totally pointless and a waste of time to watch!
