Truly amazing. The plight of every man........trying to please everyone and keep peace in the Middle East.
I wanted to like it. A couple of laughs but just a tedious puff-piece.
Director Sameh Zoabi relies on the old adage that we have more in common than not, but it’s a lesson that bears repeating — particularly when laughs come with it.
When a comedy is made about a real-life topic that is no laughing matter, it had better be funnier than Sameh Zoabi’s Tel Aviv on Fire. The premise is a richly flavorful one, but the execution is as bland as unseasoned hummus.
