Over deze film

A has-been rock manager from Van Nuys, California stumbles upon a once-in-a-lifetime voice in a remote Afghan cave in Rock the Kasbah, a dramatic comedy inspired by stranger-than- fiction, real-life events and directed by Oscar® winner Barry Levinson. Richie Lanz (Bill Murray), dumped and stranded in war-torn Kabul by his last remaining client (Zooey Deschanel), discovers Salima Khan (Leem Lubany), a Pashtun teenager with a beautiful voice and the courageous dream of becoming the first woman to compete on national television in Afghanistan’s version of “American Idol.” Richie partners with a savvy hooker (Kate Hudson), a pair of hard-partying war profiteers (Danny McBride and Scott Caan) and a hair-trigger mercenary (Bruce Willis) and, braving dangerous cultural prejudices, manages his new protégé into becoming the "Afghan Star."

Everyone who didn't like this movie can suck it. The only reason its as bad as it is, lets face it, no one has full creative liberty when it comes to the Middle East or talking about 9/11 anything like that. In fact, movies where they mention CIA or FBI has to go through Washington to okay it, while they're not personally involved they do have to okay it, and this is one of the movies that mentions CIA. In a broader sense, we all self censor ourselves when it comes to touchy subjects, and how many amazing directors you think really want to work under those conditions and on top of it go to Afghanistan to shoot. 5/7 would watch again.

I didn't hate it and I didn't love it but it okay. It starts stupidly slow to the point you want to leave, but somewhere towards the middle to end it picks up and is rather good. If you have some time to kill and want to have an opinion about it then watch. I stayed because it's actually a spin on an event that DID happen in Afghanistan during the Afghan Idol so I was mainly supported it for that reason and the "Afghan" guys were hot

"GD" WORD USED WAY TOO MUCH 5X IN THE FIRST 15 MINUTES. REFUND PLEASE. STOP USING MY LORDS NAME IN VAIN. NO WONDER WHY AMERICA IS BECOMING A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY. I WANT MY $5 BACK. NO REASON TO SAY THAT WORD EVERY 3 MINUTES. I HAD TO TURN IT OFF AFTER 15 MINUTES. I CAN LET IT SLIDE ONCE IN AWHILE BUT THEY REALLY WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO SAY THAT WORD. SERIOUSLY 5 TIMES IN 15 MINUTES???? GOD HAVE MERCY ON US.
