Reviews

Excuse Me, We're Being Humiliated! has garnered a mixed reception from audiences and critics alike. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a low approval rating, with an IMDb score of 5.7/10 indicating that while it entertains, it falls short of being a standout feature. Critics described the film as a 'light-hearted take on serious social issues' but pointed out its inconsistencies in pacing and character development. 'Ahmed Adam shines in selecting comedic moments,' noted a review from FilmGate, which gave it a 5/10 rating. However, others were less favorable, likening the humor to 'a one-note gag' that fails to resonate over the film's 90-minute runtime. Conversely, some fan reviews on IMDb praise the film's relatable themes and laugh-out-loud moments, claiming it is a 'must-watch for any fan of Egyptian comedy.' Overall, while it may not be a critical darling, its appeal lies in its humor and cultural commentary, making it a notable entry in Ahmed Adam's filmography.
