Not So Funny
Comedians Negin Farsad and Dean Obeidallah lead an all-star Muslim comedy performing in big cities, small towns, liberal enclaves, conservative hotbeds, rural and everything in between to explore the issue of Islamophobia. Aside from the in-fighting, which seemed completely counter-productive to the message they wanted to send, this is a good documentary on how Muslims are perceived in America. It also shows the variety, including an Iranian-American woman who could pass as European, and a half-Italian Arab with a New york accent... The comedy is nothing special, and these are not folks who are going to get their own sitcom any time soon, but their message is important.
brave and touching (includes a couple minor spoilers)
The real story here isn't the comedy itself but the project being undertaken by this touring comedy troupe of Muslims: to use comedy to reach out to people who may never have had a conversation with a Muslim before, and to hopefully contradict stereotypes and misconceptions just by being themselves. Whether you like all the comics or every scene of the standup performances seems kinda secondary to me, I didn't like all of it but I really like what they were trying to do. I probably like their man-on-the-street stuff best of all. I think what this group did was rad. Some of the acts were edgy and pushed the limits a bit - maybe deliberately choosing locations where you think people tend to be conservative and then cursing and telling jokes about STDs is a bit if a contradiction, but hey, If these people were gonna play it safe they never woulda left NYC. I kept wishing I could've seen one of their shows live. And plus I totally would go bowling with Muslims! Shallow side note: Nagin is my new fashion guru, she is such a snappy dresser! I want to know where she shops.
