Allah Made Me Funny: Live in Concert, from comedy material written and performed by Mohammed 'Mo' Amer, Bryant 'Preacher' Moss and Azhar Usman, strives to be both timely and funny as it confronts the problems of American Muslims in America after 9/11.
Top CriticThe whole thing is like an HBO comedy special -- Allah made these guys pretty funny -- and it's hard to see why it's getting theatrical release.
In the end, while the humor is at times bit uneven, Allah Made Me Funny achieves its goal of breaking down stereotypes with a tongue-in-cheek grace.
No, he didn't.
While the concept is stimulating, theres actually too little political comedy here, as most yucks center on traditional men-vs.-women, my-funny-family material of middling inspiration.
Top CriticOr, rather, Allah Made Me Not Funny.

The performers are amiable, but the material is only mildly amusing.

The title doesn't lie.
It has the potential to be culturally bridging in its way, and that makes looking for Muslim comedy in the Western world worthwhile.
Ultimately, Allah only made these guys mildly likable.
a pleasant and amusing ode to banality.
Stand-up with a point? How simple the sound.
The package is a friendly, if lackluster, affair...
