Defending Your Life has a clever, funny script that is well acted by all the cast. I can watch it over and over again. Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World sounds like a funny idea that never really takes off or goes anywhere. It ends quite suddenly as if someone suddenly realised they were running out of film and ends with a whimper.

Typically bone-dry, odd, sometimes very funny Albert Brooks satire. He’s sent to India and Pakistan by the US government to find out what makes Muslims laugh, so we can communicate with them better. The film does an excellent job of skewering over-simplistic show biz and government pretensions about ‘reaching out’ to people we don’t understand, with the assumption they are simply are ‘just like us’ without the need to dig deeper. More uneven than Brooks' best work ("Mother", "Lost In America"), but when it’s good, it’s very good.

Defending your life is my favorite Mel Brooks movie. Hard to find in stores. Haven’t seen the other one though

I've long been an Albert Brooks fan, when he's "on", he's sooo good. But I waited and waited to laugh while watching this "comedy. It just didn't work. Decent premise, but something was lacking. Flat. I loved Modern Romance, parts of Defending Your Life, Mom, The Muse, Real Life, the perspiration scene in Broadcast News, and I was moved by his acting in My Mister. But The Scout and the Inlaws weren't worthy of him. And that certainly was the case in this film.

And let's not forget the intro of The Twilight Zone remake.....I loved that.

Modern Romance is one of my all time favorite movies. I felt absolutely no chemistry between Brooks the protagonist and the wife and child in this movie. None. Pass on this film.

This movie takes a funny premise and then uses Brooks' odd and off-beat humor to deliver the punch lines. Sometimes subtle and easy to miss, his jokes and set ups are hilarious!.

Only one movie plays.

Very dis-satisfied. Received the item. Only one disc. Not the movie I wanted. I did not receive the movie. Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World. So upset. I want my Money back. I don’t even care about the other movie!!!!!!!! Star rating. I don’t even want to press 1. I couldn’t go any further without pressing at least one!!!!! Very very dissatisfied!!!!!

It was OK. Not as funny as I remembered it was. The satire in the movie seemed dated.. appropriate for 2006, not 2015. Worth a watch if it were on Prime, or if you have a free rental and nothing else on your list, especially if you are into the Albert Brooks brand of comedy.
