Not even bad in a good way
Robert Joyner
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Frances Chung
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

No matter how many times i say this movie, i find myself mesmerized in front of the screen if i ever happen to find it while tuning channels. an example of excellent workmanship in cinema industry, interiors, colours and costumes a magnificent cocktail. i find 2 scenes showing the directors ability to express with colour. and 1 scene shows his ability of choosing location.regarding colour: 1- when Nadia stood up looking jealous and angry watch her father taking (Safeia) his new wife to the bedroom and inside the bedroom a lamps are turned off and replaced with calm red to express the sexual relation between the just married couple, sending a message to Nadia that she is no longer the number 1 female in her father's life.2- the confrontation scene between Nadia's father and his wife when Nadia framed her mother in law by misguiding her father into beleiving that his wife is having an affair with Omar sharif. take a good look when the father roars :Talqa, Talqa , Talqa ( you are divorced, divorced, divorced) as the camera moves into a close shot to Nadia;'s face a red light spot is casted in her face to express her feeling with guilt towards the horrible sin she has committed.regarding location: When Nadia went to meet her lover in his flat, the director intentionly chose to locate the lovers flat into a modern apartment building to fit the lover's loose and forethought lifestyle. at that time almost 95% of Cairo's architecture were classic inspired only few years before shooting the movie, a new apertment building was constructed in downtown at the intersection of Sheriff st & Talat Harb street, it was a new office-residentail building owned by Morad Wahaba Basha designed by the 2 young architects at that time ( Salah Zaitoun -Mostafa shawqi) this 16 stories building was a majour event as it was an abstarct expression of modern Architecure ( No moldings -No Murals) just a mass of concrete and volumes inspired by the work of Mies Van DER ROHE and Lu corbesiier . hence it did not miss the jenious director to choose this particular building to host the apartment of the playboy
