Atrociously cringe-worthy dialogues, but still a decent movie nonetheless.
Also the fact that it was set in Afghanistan, but every character was speaking in English with an Afghani accent felt silly. Nobody else but English speakers do this... where you make a movie about another country, then cheapen it by anglicizing (think even movies like Gladiator where ancient Romans speak English). Have you ever watched say, a Chinese movie about something happening in Brazil where everyone is supposed to be Brazilian but speak Mandarin? Or a French movie about Japan where all Japanese people speak French? I dunno, I would have preferred the same movie in Arabic to preserve authenticity. This just felt silly, and it's silliness that shouldn't have impacted an otherwise decently inspiring and heartwarming movie!
