Seemp deHond The fact that someone paid someone to place 20 fake reviews on IMDb with 10 star ratings is bad practise and IMDb should not allow it. Made me hesitant to watch it, because if the owner of this project doesn't believe in it, should I? . About the movie. Take away all political correctness (and what is up with these people feeling offended). Let us run this against the Romcom/Bollywood clichelist:✓ Angry defensive girl, meets friendly naive guy, ✓opposite attracts, ✓A dramatic event brings them together.✓Love conquers all. Yup, seems to be all there. Is is bad? No it's no bad at all. It's a romcom so no there is no fact checking for every event and some things are done for the cuteness factor. All together it is a nice watch and if the girl wasn't Muslim and the boy was Joseph Gordon-Levitt we'd be having this by the spoonful and declare it the indie 500 days of Summer.
Ronald Pillar I had no idea what to expect from the title and was pleasantly surprised to see a refreshingly good story with important messages for today's complex world. The main actors were unfamiliar to me and they were exceptional. I was taken by Amira (Dina Shihabi) who captures your attention and heart. Great casting and dialog with lots of subtle humor as well. This is a movie that will work for all ages - OK - from 12 to 92. Bravo and make sure to remember - you heard it here - Dian Shihabi is a future big big star - red carpet star! Martin Starr (Sam) is immediately likable and a wonderful example of an understated, noble and caring American war veteran. See this movie and enjoy!
allymwhite Amira & Sam is a delight - tackles multiple political and social issues with finesse - great acting and witty script that will have you laughing out of loud.Don't be fooled. Amira & Sam is not just the standard indie, rom-com, boy meets girl story. The movie shows a different perspective on struggle of a solider returning from war and weaves together a sweet story with fabulous acting that feels raw, genuine and unpredictable. The chemistry and depth of characters portrayed by Starr and Shihabi brings the film to life. Perfect for a date night or rainy afternoon - a must see! And looking forward to more from first-time writer / director Sean Mullen.
Lisa K This is an amazing film by a Writer/Director to keep an eye on. Martin Starr is excellent, as is co-star Dina Shihabi, both of whom bring to life the truly uniquely individual characters in this story. Sean Mullen captures our hearts while also presenting to us a real dilemma many soldiers face after returning from years of courageously defending our freedom - maybe the rest of us have lost our way a little (or a lot)!To interweave romance, morality, suspense, intrigue, and culture - all with a backdrop of the city that we all love - is a true gift. I look forward to Sean's next movie. This one is a must see.
