The Infidel In South Florida!
Floridians, we've got your number. Don't miss Josh Appignanesi's "comedy of ethnic proportions" when its hits your shores this weekend! The Infidel is a crowd-pleaser, brought to you by Tribeca Film.
S
Tribeca Film, in partnership with American Express®, brings you the best of independent film wherever you are.
If you are in South Florida beginning this Friday, August 27, you will have the chance to see the hilarious comedy that everyone will be talking about... The Infidel.
Meet Mahmud Nasir (Omid Djalili, Sex and the City 2), loving husband, doting father and something of a “relaxed” Muslim. He may not be the most observant, but in his heart he is a true Muslim. After his mother’s death, Mahmud finds his birth certificate, which reveals not only that he was adopted at birth but… he's Jewish!
As Mahmud “Like Homer Simpson, but Muslim” (LA Weekly) tumbles headlong into a full-scale identity crisis, the only person he can turn to is Lenny (Richard Schiff, The West Wing), a drunken Jewish cabbie. Soon Mahmud is embarking on lessons in Jewishness, starting with how to dance like Topol and the proper way to say “oy vey.” This revelation couldn’t come at a worse time, with Mahmud’s son about to marry the stepdaughter of a radical Muslim cleric. Emmy Award nominee Archie Panjabi (The Good Wife) and Matt Lucas (Little Britain) join the cast of this hilarious “English farce meets Woody Allen” (Ricky Gervais). 
Screening at The Deerfield Mall 8 in Deerfield Beach, FL, and The Sunrise 11 in Sunrise, FL, beginning Friday, August 27. Floridians, don't miss it!
