Tawfiq, an Arab youth in America seduced by the language, manner and dress of the Hollywood Western proposes to hook up with a fellow west-obsessed “The Kid.” But this white-bread American turns his nose up at Tawfiq, until he finds out he’s from Bethlehem: “Just like the baby Jesus.” The Kid decides that someone from “The Holy Land” would make a perfect virtuous partner, and they embark on a crusade to clean up all the un-modest evils spread by satellite dishes. The combination of hokey, regurgitated cowboy-speak with low-tech acting, suburban surreal situations (like when things get too hot and they have to hide out at Tawfiq’s family’s home) and the metaphorical implications of U.S.-Middle Eastern relations makes for good entertainment and food for thought." - Detroit MetroTimes, May 2002
