I consider this movie as one of the best Egyptian films of time truly genius direction and writing projecting major flaws in the Egyptian society with sarcastic and dark comedy. A 2 hour movie passed like 2 minutes. Really well done and extremely recommended to watch.

This movie not just was written right, it was done right. I hope it gets subtitled some day so other people from different cultures can see this masterpiece.

The movie is not for fun only It talking about big problems in our Young people in our society in a comic frame,The style of comedy is different and enjoyable for all young people and adults

.

Hilarious movie based on a real insight digged deep in the Egyptian conservative society during late 90s and early 2000s. The story perfectly told in a way that you feel you're one of them. Definitely one of the most iconic Egyptian movies during the past 30 years.

This film is the masterpiece of its maker, Mohamed Amin, and it was brilliantly written. What do you need to make a successful film? Good actors? Good script? Fertile imagination? Well, you have all of these components combined in this film.

First off, let's go through the story. Alaa, Ashraf, and Effat are three men in their twenties, 26 to be exact, who lost all hope in a bright tomorrow and found themselves prisoners of lustful imaginations. The film depicts 24 hours of their lives in which all they try to do is to watch a porno movie. This quest proves unaccomplishable as we witness in the two-hour film. Lots of banter, puns, comedy, and humor are present in the film.

The casting process was very careful, and this played a grand role in making the film successful. I liked Ahmed Eid's (Alaa) performance, for his reactions and lines are a big source of fun and joy. He is a master craftsman in comedy and I think he is the main event in this film.

Finally, the film, as fun as it is, sends important and serious messages to the youth: are you in charge of your life? Well, if not, do not worry, for it is not your fault, it's the system's, you losers!
