From A to B

A Movie about three young men who are going in a road trip to honor their dead friend's memory, The Movie's event is about the conflict of thinking in the Arab counties, As they passed by Saudi Arabia, The officer who were searching their Bags, He saw a t-shirt of an English club which means that young man supporting an foreign team instead of supporting a Saudi team, That Drove Him mad as He didn't See the Alcoholic Bottle, Which is forbidden in This country. This movie also shows the conflict between the Arabs and the Israeli. As During The road trip these guys saw two young beautiful ladies, They offered them a help but they didn't want to. and the Egyptian guy right after knowing that they are Israeli He left. They were also discussing the situation in Syria and how people were treated by the armed forces. and how they finally reached their friend's grave to honor his memory. in general the movie was good except of the unnecessary Obscene language.

I will definitely say that it was a nice try to change the type of Arabic movies, but I just couldn't feel it. I was excited at the beginning because it was recommended to me by friends, but I was disappointed. The only good thing in the movie is the acting, music and the directing. The story and the script didn't add anything new to the cinema industry. The script contains a lot of Western type of lines and cliché, the Arabic references were good but not enough tho. I liked the cursing, the drinking and the sexual content, but it did not fill the gaps in the story really well to make it feel more middle eastern, basically it didn't reflect the reality of the middle east in a very accurate way, but I still believe that Arabic movies should add them in today's movies. In conclusion, as long as Hollywood is still producing movies, the Arabic movies industry should not worry about the Arabic audience, and they should take their time to produce a film that can reach an international level with more realistic expectations.

Different from other Arabic films, The Director is very strong and has great experience, and we enjoyed working like make a movie House district, Mustafa filmmaker Emirati and UAE's expected audience closer to the UAE and the GCC community, Movie from Abu Dhabi to Beirut with the soul comedy to action heroes, beautiful idea, and always looking for public road movies and desires, Our criticism is not great, but absolutely sure that the Director is keen to move on Its for the better, We hope the new more exciting and suspense and Emirati and Gulf representatives renewed love film challenge We want the Director focus on behind the scenes, industry and business workshops for beginner filmmakers, publishing experience, and no doubt that interest would be great

We had last night been at the Advanced Screening of Ali F. Mostafa's Movie From A to B at the Vox Cinemas at the Yas Mall in Abu Dhabi. It was the first time for me to be at the Vox Cinemas in the Yas Mall and man was it an experience.

The Movie itself is playing in the year 2011 when Omar finds himself still racked with the guilt over the death of his best friend Hady 5 years ago and whose girl he married which was the reason for the the stress they had.

Just days away from the birth of his first child, he decides to take the road trip they never got to take and reaches out to his estranged high school friends Jay (Albutairi) and Ramy (Alfons) who have lost touch since Hady's death to take the road trip in his memory., much to the dismay of his pregnant wife.

Jay, now a playboy / wannabe DJ, and Ramy, an #activist (with 737 twitter followers!), take some convincing, but finally agree to the trip. The boys decide to drive from Abu Dhabi – via Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria to arrive in Beirut, on what would have been Hady's twenty-fifth birthday.

Their journey is interesting and you will see quite some places you are familiar with in this flick which is pretty awesome. As well the scenery is partially amazing, specially Jordan. It made me feel during the movie already like "I wanna go there".

The story is told interesting and despite the movie being mainly in Arabic I followed the subtitles well enough to get everything. The movie did not bore me for even a minute.

As a classic Roadtrip Movie with Arabic charm of course things have to go wrong during the trip and they do. A camel gets hit, they get arrested by the Police and so on. I don't want to take away to much of the story here but having as well some political influences about the war in Syria and the difficulties in Lebanon itself at that time is enriching the movie very well and I walked out of the Movie still thinking how horrible the situation in Syria must be.

The Actors had been quite good and specially Fahad who plays Jay/Yousef was brilliant in my opinion and very entertaining. Overall it is an entertaining flick which is giving you a good time in the cinema. It is certainly worth watching and having a good time even if you do not speak native Arabic like me.

Don't let the rating fool you, this is sold work with great Charachter development. It's real, gutsy, and original work. This tells a tale of everyday people of the current generation, much more real than 90% of the typical Arab movies. Will make you laugh, and tear up. I really enjoyed this movie and would recommend it for what it is. Let's encourage more of this work.

Bravo team.
