Reviews

Critical reception of "Me or My Aunt" has been mixed, as reflected by its IMDb rating of 5.3/10. While some viewers praised Mohamed Henedi's comedic timing and charismatic portrayal, highlighting his ability to carry the movie with his distinct style, others found the plot somewhat predictable and the humor uneven. Rotten Tomatoes does not list an official score due to limited international coverage, but regional moviegoers have expressed that the film relies heavily on local cultural references which might not resonate globally. Reviews from local media often commend the ensemble cast and the light-hearted storyline but note that the film may lack depth or innovation compared to other comedies of the era. Metacritic does not have aggregate scores for this film, reflecting the limited critical discourse outside Egypt. Overall, "Me or My Aunt" is appreciated for its entertainment value among fans of Egyptian cinema but receives moderate critique for narrative structure and originality.
