B-
Throughout it all Ahmed is relentlessly upbeat, and he seems to have good reason to be. Yes, he's trying to sell an idea, but it's probably an idea well worth selling. Go to Full Review Michael Granberry Dallas Morning News 06/23/2011

[A] funny, deeply affecting documentary. Go to Full Review Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle 06/16/2011

Though it's only 72 minutes, by the time it's over, you'll be ready for it to end. Go to Full Review Kelly Jane Torrance Washington Examiner 01/08/2019

12/12/2018 Just Like Us started out attempting to tell a message of bridging a cultural gap with comedy, but 15 minutes in it lost its message and became a bad standup comedy compilation. See more 04/21/2017 Refreshing take on the budding Arabic comedy culture in the Middle East and here in the U.S. I enjoyed the tour although a much different comedic style. The idea of laughter as a common universal language is one worth sharing! See more 04/10/2013 Fantastic documentary. See more 01/12/2013 i loved it, real comedy with a twist of middle eastren adventure!! See more 01/02/2012 An excellent documentary.
