Sameir A Bagdad Cafe (1987) is a true original, offering a uniquely satisfying experience for those who crave something different. The film's opening sequence features some truly amazing and unconventional shots that grab your attention. While the rest of the movie doesn't quite live up to that initial burst of creativity, it remains a strangely endearing and humorous gem. #KiduMovie Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Emily M This movie was so bad that it made my dad and I laugh. The song kept repeating and it didn't fit the movie at all. A Celine Dion song or Whitney Houston song would have been a better a fit for this movie. I knew by the first scene the with the sound and cuts for the scene was so off which made it even funnier. I do believe that some people on here cannot rate movies well or don't know what a good movie is. Yep so the acting , singing and the sound was horrible. This movie is probably more left leaning because they added horrible actors instead of people who were actually good. I think there are several other great German actress and American but they chose the worst of the worst lmao.😂 Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review Anastasios G. Like a modern-day fairy tale set in an alternate reality. You’ll never forget the experience of watching it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review Rich B Totally obnoxious. I wanted to like it, but the entire experience (I tried to watch it multiple times!) was being in a room with people I'd prefer had already passed. Take the Wes Anderson movie you hated most, take out anything amusing, and then watch it at painful volume. Who thought this was a good idea? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Audience Member A very sweet and endearing movie about the magic of love and friendship. There are a handful of awkward shots and amateur camera work at the very beginning of the movie but it's perfect after that. It looks like they soon realized they had a crappy camera man that they had to replace but didn't have the time or the budget to reshoot the few scenes he had already shot so they tried to fix it with some editing and then made up for it with what they accomplished for the rest of the movie. There are some really cool shots and great subtle humor throughout the movie and everyone delivers a great performance, especially Jack Palance who plays a retired but lively bohemian artist. And if you didn't care for plump German milfs before, you will after this. The movie ends with a really cool and funny musical number that comes at you out of nowhere but it makes perfect sense nonetheless. It's one of those movies that you either don't get it or love it dearly. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Devra B What a great movie.
