This movie is a 5 that got a 6 because of Tom Hanks. For once they got some of the details of the Arab World. Not the best story in my opinion but an interesting one.

A Hologram for the King is about the businessman Alan Clay, who leaves for Saudi Arabia to pitch a new idea with his team, in order to earn enough money to pay for his daughter’s college. On his journey in Saudi Arabia Alan meets a lot of interesting people and get tested on his patience multiple times. So, do you ever watch a movie and you keep trying to find your opinion about it but you just don’t know? Well, that’s what I’m feeling right now. The acting in the movie was pretty good and some parts were rather funny. I just don’t know how to feel about the storyline I guess. It’s a bummer really because otherwise this would have been a pretty great movie! It was interesting to see the difference between the Arabian and American culture. There is obviously quite a big difference. So it was fun to see how they handled it. I really enjoyed Alexander Black his character Yousef. :-)

There's a scene in this movie where Tom Hank's character asks for a beer and ends up settling for a Diet Pepsi. This movie is that Diet Pepsi.

This movie represents the Islamic Culture and Middle East in the wrong manner! It is on purpose to make the arabs and their religion look savages.
It represents the Muslim Woman as she is always abused, and her husband as an animal who deals with her violently. So that according to them, she always More

Tom Hanks plays a fish-out-of-water businessman in this tale of culture shock, self-doubt and discovery. Set amidst the flat desert plains of Saudi Arabia, Hanks aims to mend his financial struggles by selling an absentee king on a gimmicky hologram-driven teleconferencing solution. Along the way, h More

**About a salesman who went to sell his product sold himself.**

I like this director, one of his film was in my all time favourite list. But I'm not sure what happened to him lately, he's not the same as what he was a decade ago. This is his worse to far I've seen. He's better than this, but he c More
