Bikur Ha-Tizmoret (2007)

AKA The Band's Visit. The Band is title is an Egyptian Brass Band, invited to Israel for inauguration of some Arab Cultural Center. But their pick-up doesn't arrive at the airport and they end up taking a bus to.....nowhere. Literally. They land up at some wrong place, without money and no place to go and no place to stay. Till they are given the shelter by the currently unmarried restaurant owner Dina.

A slow comedy, if there can be such a thing. While it is interesting in parts, overall I found it barely entertaining. My rating is 5/10.
