The routines are so clean they could have played on the Ed Sullivan show in the '50s -- which is refreshing and so old it seems new.

A live concert featuring three Muslim comedians building bridges of understanding through humor.
10/02/08
A performance documentary with a tiny budget and a big spirit that follows three comics as they travel the country looking for laughs and understanding.

Top CriticThe title of this well-intentioned movie ought to have been, Allah Made Me "Occasionally" Funny: Live in Concert.

No, he didn't.

Top CriticIt's hit-and-miss. But Allah Made Me Funny: Live in Concert is a film that doesn't let go from the very first moment.

Top CriticThe package is a friendly, if lackluster, affair...
10/03/08
Or, rather, Allah Made Me Not Funny.
09/28/08
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 CriticStand-up with a point? How simple the sound.
10/01/08
Allah may have made these men funny, but he didn't bestow much in the way of filmmaking skills.
10/03/08
Between the sets, director Andrea Kalin generates some pleasant material by following the comics around in their private lives.
10/03/08
Top CriticIn 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.

Kaifa taqoulu kalimat 'this is funny stuff!' bel arabia? (How do you say 'this is funny stuff' in Arabic?)

The title doesn't lie.

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.
11/12/08
Ultimately, Allah only made these guys mildly likable.
10/02/08
The jokes are tepid and generic, better suited to late-night Comedy Central than the big screen.
10/03/08
Top CriticIt has the potential to be culturally bridging in its way, and that makes looking for Muslim comedy in the Western world worthwhile.
