Jimmy Vestvood - Um Quase Super-Herói Americano

Slightly reminded me of Borat movies,but with more class and no gross acts... Which makes this OK for kids too.

I am not Iranian,but I really enjoyed this movie. I think the fact I have some Iranian friends did help to make this movie funnier as I knew a lot about Iranian families.

The joke about chandeliers was one of them :)

There are a lot of gross and not funny comedies these days and this movie was a breath of fresh air. I wish they will make more! All actors were funny and did a good job playing their roles.

A solid 7/10

This movie is not funny, trying too hard and insulting sometimes. Why make a joke about Jesus painting?

First of all I'm not a professional viewer. It was a weak 'Hollywood style' movie, and by Hollywood style I mean those that show women as sex toys and there's always have to be a hero to save the world. Of course not all Hollywood movies are like as I described. Definitely not an Iranian movie, does not even have Iranian vibe to it, probably an Iranian-American culture. I like Maz Jobrani, but this movie I really didn't enjoy and I do not recommend this to anyone.

This movie was super entertaining and made me laugh about a million times.

I recommend this movie to anybody who likes borat style comedy films that are family friendly. I am an Iranian and enjoyed this thoroughly, but you don't need to be Iranian to enjoy the film. Majority of the people disliking or leaving negative reviews on the movie are oppressed by the jokes and irony of the movie. The movie doesn't come off very oppressive however, I found all of the jokes to be extremely reasonable and respectful. Maz Jobrani's performance was fantastic and I think he was the perfect character for the roll.

Overall I really enjoyed the movie.

I watched this thinking it'd be a waste of time or a Borat rip-off or a boring stereotypical attempt at comedy. Well, okay... it was stereotypical, but not in a bad way. AND it was pretty funny. Not that many "Middle Eastern" jokes--only enough so you don't forget the character is a new arrival in the US and not completely in tune with American society. I hadn't heard of Maz Jobrani before this; I saw him in The Interpreter but evidently he didn't make that much of an impression. In this movie, as the star, he was great. Just the right amount of slapstick and just the right amount of naivete. The back stories were pretty good, didn't detract from the movie at all, and actually helped give insight into the main character (as much as you can expect in a comedy). This ain't Caddyshack, Young Frankenstein, or The Big Lebowski--but it was good fun and PG-13.
