Arrogant, neurotic, culturally insensitive and privileged white Westerners cause havoc among wise, humble Muslims


I haven't seen the film, all I know of it is the synopsis and pics on its IMDb page, but I'm guessing the thread title is an accurate summation. How did I do?

It's all a out fun.

There's some of that and some surprisingly insightful takes as well, particularly from Matt Smith's character. Also a bit of character development on the part of the Fiennes character near the end.

Hahaha, that is funny. The thing is that you and most others with these sarcastic comments about different groups is that movies and TV stories have to play against type. There's be no movie it it was about Muslims that ran over a white person in America and tried to hide it. These dynamics do not reverse so well.
