Leah Pickett Chicago Reader 09/22/2016
In the style of Borat, director Jonathan Kesselman and cowriters Jobrani and Amir Ohebsion use raunchy, puerile humor to jab at American prejudices toward the Middle East. Go to Full Review Christopher Kompanek Washington Post 05/12/2016
1.5/4
Teetering precariously between satire and base humor, "Jimmy Vestvood" squanders opportunities for both. Go to Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle 04/18/2016
Maz Jobrani's clowning is a salve for our troubling times. Go to Full Review Sherilyn Connelly SF Weekly 06/23/2016
Sheila Vand steals Jimmy Vestvood: Amerikan Hero as the vivacious Leila. After the smoldering, dark-eyed performance as the chador-wearing vampire in A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, it turns out a girl also has fantastic comedic chops. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 05/19/2016
8.95/10
Bold, raunchy and biting, Jimmy Vestvood is one of the most outrageously funny comedies in years. Go to Full Review Charles Ealy Austin American-Statesman 04/18/2016
The satire is well-balanced and, more often than not, the jokes go over like gangbusters. With its humorous cultural lens, this movie should be a career-changing moment for Jobrani. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
