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.

Though it's only 72 minutes, by the time it's over, you'll be ready for it to end.

Of course Arabs aren't a bunch of terrorists - but this movie bombs more often than not.

Good intentions don't equal useful information. Perhaps Ahmed would learn more if he talked to more people who weren't his friends or family.

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.

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!
