Yasmin Shehab Cairo360 ... despite the sheer proliferation of fat-person-eats-enough-food-for-an-army jokes, X Large doesn't deviate from this pattern. Rated: 3/5 Sep 28, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

r96 s Overly long and simply rather dull. 'X-Large' just about harbours a positive message by the end (debatable), but it does so in such a roundabout way and via uninteresting means that as a movie it's an underwhelming watch, for me at least. This could have easily been told across 90mins, rather in the 135mins that is in fact produced. The effects for Magdy's 'look' are also unconvincing. Despite being a oomedy it doesn't offer much amusement. There's just one scene that I did find minorly comical but I've already, even just moments after watching, forgotten what one it actually was, which kinda says it all. Admittedly the language barrier perhaps contributes - that would be a fair argument, even if it's not one I necessarily agree with. Ahmed Helmy, Donia Samir Ghanem and Ibrahim Nasr (the standout) are decent on the cast, though they are probably the only things I'd praise about this film - which isn't a terrible picture by any means, just a perfectly unfulfilling one in my eyes. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review Ziyad R The single greatest. movie. ever produced in. the. history of cinema, a spectacular piece about the ups and downs of life, from obesity to the epitome of physique. A truly heartwarming tale about a simple humble man overcoming. one of lives greatest challenges. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
