Sanad A Oh boy, let me tell you about this movie, "Shalaby"! It's like a breath of fresh air on a hot summer day, a delightful blend of comedy and charm that will leave you with a big smile on your face. I mean, seriously, this film is a gem! First of all, let's talk about the cast. Every single actor in this movie did an outstanding job. They brought their A-game and it really showed. Peter Mimi, as usual, was absolutely stunning. His performance was so captivating that I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Kudos to him! Now, let's move on to the story. It's good, my friend. Really good. It's one of those feel-good tales that warms your heart and leaves you feeling all fuzzy inside. I watched this movie with my family, and let me tell you, everyone was happy. We thought it would be just another light comedy, but boy, were we wrong. It turned out to be a lovely experience that we will cherish for a long time. And can we talk about the writing? The whole story was so nice and well-written. The script was on point, delivering the perfect balance of humor and emotion. It's the kind of comedy that we need to see more of in our theaters. It's refreshing, it's entertaining, and it's just plain fun. I have to give a special shout-out to Karim Abdel Aziz, Rouby, Bayoumy, and the famous Nafady for their brilliant performances in this film. They truly brought the characters to life and made the movie even more enjoyable. In conclusion, "Shalaby" is one of the best movies of 2023. It's a real movie, real cinema. If you're looking for a light-hearted comedy that will make you laugh, cry, and leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, then this is the film for you. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. So grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the show! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/26/23 Full Review Shaxland I really enjoyed this movie! There were a lot of good laughs, and some touching heartfelt moments as well! The characters were all developed really well, and all had wonderful personalities. They were unique and played well on screen! I wasn't a fan of the Shalaby marionette, which looked a bit creepy and cliché, but it did not detract from the experience. The set design, and locations were beautiful and contained wonderful mis-en-scene. If you want to check out a fun movie, give it a go!!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
