Overall I had a good time watching this movie BUT..
Being myself Jewish and married to a Muslim I found this particular storyline truly underdeveloped in this movie. Facing the problems these two cultures bring almost daily it felt too shallow here. The race issues were probably addressed too much but not religious ones and in mixed couples it's usually VERY present. A dad like Akbar would most likely insist on converting Ezra to Islam and his mom would whine much more about Amira not being Jewish (trust me on that one 🙄)
I would shorten the parents' parts in this movie and see more what each other's friends or siblings have to say if the filmmakers wanted to keep the tone the film had. Like when they inserted podcast bits. It felt fresh and fun.
And frankly the end of it felt rushed and not believable, I wish they just stayed friends or something like that. Like wtf? Suddenly the parents apologize and all the issues disappear? Maybe I'm just bitter about my own life lol but I really couldn't relate here.
Some good jokes though, I had a laugh or two. And I quite liked the music and the visuals. Like Ezra I grew up with hip-hop so that part was good for me))
