Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World

What makes Muslims laugh? That question is the focus of this insightful mockumentary starring Albert Brooks (who also wrote and directed). Sent by government officials to India and Pakistan to try to improve relations with post-9/11 South Asian countries, Brooks, his faithful assistant and two representatives from the State Department try to figure out the role comedy plays in Muslim life. With Sheetal Sheth, John Carroll Lynch, Jon Tenney, and Fred Dalton Thompson (as himself). 98 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English, French, Spanish.
