Here is a double feature of culture clash situation comedies. The recommendation is first from 2010, "The Infidel" followed by, from 2005, "Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World." These are for people who see the humor in our different perspectives.
"The Infidel" stars Omid Djalili as Mahmud Nasir, a Muslim man who balances the arrival of conservative potential in-laws during a personal identity crisis.
"Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World" is written, directed by, and stars Albert Brooks as a doppelganger of himself who is sent by the American government to India and Pakistan to document what makes Muslims laugh. Only Albert Brooks doesn't know the answer isn't Albert Brooks.
Both movies find fun in what is and isn't shared by us all.
