35 / 100

50	The New York Times Exudes a randy, robust charm as it unapologetically thumbs its nose at respectability and everything the word implies.
50	Christian Science Monitor It's rare for an Egyptian movie to look so closely and unflinchingly at class conflict and other forms of social disarray, but lively acting keeps the story engaging even when it wanders and meanders.
38	New York Post The screenplay by Zekri (based on Jorge Amado novel) is crude stuff, and director Ossama Fawzi gets such cartoonish performances from his cast, it's hard to care about the characters.
30	TV Guide A coarse and unappealing black comedy.
30	Village Voice Fawzi shoots the proceedings in clumsy, gotch-eyed spurts, and the level of incoherence is impressively high.
