road to guantanamo

its my first movie in a cinema since SIFF
(hey I finally saw king kong last month),
so I though that that deserved a mini review.


hootie mini movie review
Road to Guantanamo is the new romantic comedy from UK director Michael Winterbottom. Follow the madcap misadventures of a bunch of English punks as they travel from Pakistan to Afghanistan in search of the biggest naan in Asia. Set against the biblical American bombardment of Kabul, the punks learn to speak Urdu, grow facial hair and fantasize of deep dish pizzas. Hilarity ensues when, through a comic series of mistaken identities, the group end up in exotic Cuba.



or not.

Waliou.I don't think its ever coming to Jurong Point. And its ending this week I think. Singapore audience is probably not as matured as her First World counterparts lah. Will get DVD from HMV great sale.

Just watched it on DVD. It's regretfully disappointing. Director had to protect the characters so they appear unbelievably apolitical. I much prefer Paradise Now.
