Stellar indie-flick that avoids most typical cheesy romance clichés
A nice surprise about 2 very different characters one an ex-army American soldier man and one Muslim refugee woman.With that set-up this could have turned out to be just any typical rom-com fare but it avoids doing that by keeping a great sense of realism throughout the movie with characters and developments that all seem natural.
As a big ‘Freaks and Geeks’ fan from my youth it’s nice to see yet another Apatow ‘family member’ get his shot at the limelight, in this case Martin Starr who played the lovable geek with massive glasses; Bill Haverchuck in the series.
And he handles the lead-role splendidly with natural charisma as does his love interest in the movie Dina Shihabi as Amira.
All in all a small independent drama-comedy that succeeds at being funny and dramatic when it’s supposed to be, a slice of life type of movie.
EXCELLENT! We laughed, we cried, we fell in love with this movie.
We recently saw this film at the Napa Film Festival and thought it was not only the best movie in the festival but also one of the best movies we saw in 2014. If you have not seen it yet, put it on your “must see” list.The story is a wonderful love story, complete with the strings tugging at your heart and the joy of seeing two people fall in love in current times. At first, Amira and Sam do not seem likely to form any sort of relationship but soon their true selves emerge, they learn how to communicate and respect each other, like and then love each other.
Writing a screenplay about a balanced, heartwarming and honest movie about a current veteran and an illegal immigrant is not easy, but Sean Mullin nailed it. The cast selection was also suburb – you will be wondering “Where did they find the woman who plays Amira?” She is simply terrific. New York, of course, plays itself.
And by the way, I don’t agree with some of the other reviews saying that the movie incorrectly portrays Iraqi/Muslim women. I saw Amira as a smart, fiercely independent, strong and caring woman.
