The Infidel

The Infidel DVD Case

I have wanted to watch this film for quite some time but never got round to it, and as there was nothing new out at my rental store, so I decided to pick up this in a offer, 5 Films for £5, this was the first one I picked up, I didn’t expect much from this film, however I was pleasantly surprised.

Omid Dajlili is the main character in this light hearted tale, of believing that your someone that your actually not, this time in a literal sense, all his life   he has been brought up to be a Muslim, however when his mother dies, he starts to pack her things up and keep the things that he wants, meanwhile his son is due to marry a beautiful woman in which the woman’s mother is about to marry also…….to a Muslim extremist, Omid Dajlili’s son tries to persuade his dad to try and be a “good” Muslim, however while removing the things from his mothers house, he comes across an Adoption certificate in which it shows that he is adopted after 2 Weeks of being born. It turns out that his biological parents are actually “Jewish”.

Unfortunately in the midst of this his wife starts to think that he is cheating, and basically it brings about many hilarious moments, with Omid trying to toil with being Jewish, pleasing the new father-in-law, pleasing his loving and maybe not so supporting family and finally trying to find his biological parents if they are still alive.

The cast is chosen very well, and although the acting doesn’t need to be amazing, it is very well executed and the characters are funny especially, the father and son relationship in the beginning and the relationship between the father and the father-in-law bring some colourful situations to the front of the film.

The film itself I really enjoyed, liked the actors and actresses chosen for the roles, and Omid Dajlili is just as funny as he is in his stand up comedy, its definitely a film you can just relax and watch and like I said I think it will put a smile on your face and you will be glad to have watched it.
