Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

ComedyFan2010 The story is about a guy who is born in France and needs to go to Algeria where his parents are from.The summary of the movie is very simplistic. It ends up being a very interesting and great experience. First of all I didn't expect the movie to go the way it went. The whole issue with the cousin actually surprised me and I was watching it with more interest. I was also worried this movie will end up being about the main guy figuring out he is truly Algerian and start a new life. This would be very unrealistic so I am glad that I worried for nothing.Acting is wonderful. Each actor adds a lot of personality to his character. The main guy makes it easy to relate to him and understand what exactly he is feeling through the story even if he doesn't say much. In addition to that the setting of Algeria adds a lot to the story. We also go on discovery of Algeria like the main character does and get the feeling of what the country is like.

PSG Magique Plot: Because his 60 years old father is sick and is about to lose his house in Algeria, Fahrdi must travel for the 1st time in his life to Algeria, the country where his parents were born. He speaks few Arab and doesn't know much about them or about their history. Fahrid considers himself as a Frenchman and discovers an entire new world just across the Mediterranean Sea thanks to his cousin. Unfortunately, his cousin steals his passport from him and eventually leaves the country with it. Fahrid must then deal with the local and french bureaucracy while his cousin starts behaving badly in France.My comment: the story of the movie itself isn't what's interesting in it. The scenery is great, actors are authentic. We don't "see" Algeria, we can smell it, feel it and even the sun can burn your skin through the screen. I never went to Algeria, and I don't have anything to do with this country. I never planned to go there and I never thought I'd say this one day: this movie made me love the country. I want to add "visit Algeria" in my "to do list". Fahrid's statement at the end clearly explains what the movie is dealing with. He says "I still don't know if my experience is good or bad. but I'm not the same guy anymore". Great movie, congratulations
