X-Large

Overly long and simply rather dull.

'X-Large' just about harbours a positive message by the end (debatable), but it does so in such a roundabout way and via uninteresting means that as a movie it's an underwhelming watch, for me at least. This could have easily been told across 90mins, rather in the 135mins that is in fact produced. The effects for Magdy's 'look' are also unconvincing.

Despite being a oomedy it doesn't offer much amusement. There's just one scene that I did find minorly comical but I've already, even just moments after watching, forgotten what one it actually was, which kinda says it all. Admittedly the language barrier perhaps contributes - that would be a fair argument, even if it's not one I necessarily agree with.

Ahmed Helmy, Donia Samir Ghanem and Ibrahim Nasr (the standout) are decent on the cast, though they are probably the only things I'd praise about this film - which isn't a terrible picture by any means, just a perfectly unfulfilling one in my eyes.

The movie ever never, Ahmed Helmy surprised us, Really I got surprised from each detail in the movie.

Repetitive Ahmed Helmy character. nice to watch with family.Flat story
