- 100San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco ChronicleA film that doesn't let go from the very first moment.

- 63Boston GlobeTy BurrBoston GlobeTy BurrThe point of "the official Muslim comedy tour" is that these guys are ordinary Americans just like you and me. Unfortunately, that extends to a lot of the jokes.
- 60Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesChicago ReaderJ.R. JonesMostly the three comics stick to the Bill Cosby formula, dispensing with racial anger in favor of good-natured and family- and relationship-based crossover material.

- 50Village VoiceJ. HobermanVillage VoiceJ. HobermanIt's obvious that Amer and Usman labor under the burden of making humor at once insider-cool and outsider-friendly. And it's hard to finesse "offensive" from a defensive crouch.
- 50The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThe A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThere's little here that's especially cage-rattling or side-splitting. Ultimately, Allah only made these guys mildly likable.
- 50The New York TimesLaura KernThe New York TimesLaura KernThe title doesn't lie. These guys know how to tell a joke, often at the expense of their customs, religious holidays, families and themselves.
