The New York Times Stephen Holden

Exudes a randy, robust charm as it unapologetically thumbs its nose at respectability and everything the word implies.

Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt

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.

New York Post Jonathan Foreman

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.

TV Guide Ken Fox

A coarse and unappealing black comedy.

Village Voice Michael Atkinson

Fawzi shoots the proceedings in clumsy, gotch-eyed spurts, and the level of incoherence is impressively high.

The average user rating for this movie is 10.0 (out of 10) based on 2 User Votes

Absolutely fantastic stuff. Caroline Khalil was amazing.

Sherif F. gave it a 10:
I went to the movie 4 times, 3 of 'em I found that am the only 1 in the Cinema, I'm dying to have a copy, no matter how much will it cost. I went in the 1st place to listen to Fathi Salama's music, to find out that am wtching one of the few modern Egyptian movies.
