{Wanna be a bride} was transformed in to a TV series by the same “3ayza Atgawez” but it is not our version of Sex and the city if Ghada is our veiled Carrie who is looking for Mr. Right , it is more of a sitcom starring Hend Sabri , directed by Ramy Emam and produced by Al Shorouk media production for the first time. You can watch the trailer below.

Hend Sabri is excellent actress but she did not excel it this time , she disappointed us with her overreactions along with the overreactions of the rest of the cast. I do not know if it is the mistake of the director or the mistake of the script which is written by Ghada herself as I read “I hope I am wrong”. Not every good cinema director can be a good sitcom director and vice versa, Ramy Emam missed it this time.
There are scenes in the series that you can feel that the actors are presenting fake comedy that they themselves are not convinced with , for example : the clash between her mother and grandmother is so old fashioned and unneeded , it does not create a comedy and this is just the tip of ice berg. Sawsan Badr and Hend Sabri can present better than this. Tarek El-Ebairy has a good potential for comedy.
Still to be honest there are certain very few episodes that I found it really funny above them the episode of Ahmed Sakka as a police officer , I can’t keep myself from watching it over and over. Sakka should give himself a break from his action films for awhile and return back to light comedy. You can watch the whole episode below. It is worth to mention that this is the general perception of Police officers nowadays in Egypt , families think twice when they find a police officer asking their daughter’s hand in marriage. The rest of episodes I like is the episode of Ahmed Rizk and the episode of Nadal El-Shafai. Ep.10 The wife of an important officer
By the way Ghada’s best selling book in Arabic is now available in English and in Amazon too , I highly recommend it. The success of Ghada is something I think all Egyptian bloggers especially the Laila bloggers are proud of.

Hend Sabry is from the very few Arab actors who tweet by the way so if you want to tell her your opinion , you can do it on twitter as she is following the reactions herself.
I give 3ayza Atgawez 2.5 from 5 ★ ★ ★
لا اتفق معك 100% بل مليون في % فالابطال ووفق تاريخهم الذي نعرف جيدين ،اضيفي الى ذلك ان محاولة تغريب الشخصيه المصريه التي نحب - جعل ادائها يشبه اداء وردات فعل الشخصية الاجنبيه - والاستسهال امور لم تكن عنصر جذب لكثيرين من حولي .
ReplyDeleteالاعلام فعلا لا يقدم الشخصية المصرية التي نعرف ، ايضا ام بي سي في مسلسل طاش لا تقدم الشخصية السعوديه ، والكويتين في المسلسلات الكويتيه اغلبها ليس كل حياتهم ضرب وعذاب ، وايضا اللبنانينه ليست كما نرى في الاعلام شفاه وسيلكون وازياء فحسب ،فكم من لبنانية مكافحة كانت تعمل هنا في السعوديه واضافت بكل امانه وصدق وبدون مساحيق الكثير لاي مكان عملت به .
الاعلام بات يشوه ذاته قبل ان يشوه صورنا وحياتنا بافكار لم ينزل الله بها من سلطان ، مثلا قرأت كتاب عايزه اتجوز وتخيلتها شخصية مصريه فطريه طبيعيه وانسانه مكافحة ومن طبقة متوسطه تخيلت اشياء كثير غير ما شاهدت في المسلسل تماما.
الموضوع جميل جدا وصادق جدا وكتب بطريقة سليمه لم تظلم لم تجرح ولم تجامل ايضا وهنا روعة الكتابه .
@Zeinobia, I disagree with you on this one. This is by far my favorite comedy sitcom this year. Hind Sabry is awsome funny although she mimics Sohair Elbably. Exaggeration in performance can be acceptable in comedy. Look at Seinfeld which was a show about nothing but it was very successful in USA. BY the way, I give her 10/10 for mastering the Egyptian dialect considering she is Tunisian.

ReplyDeleteI watch this sitcom everyday without a miss but I found she did overacting and portrait herself to be so naive to the world around her! some are goods and some are bad and not logical. Anyway I watch it until the Isyak prayer's calling to past my time.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with this show is the DIRECTOR. He is not capable of drawing the line and thats why Hend comes out as over-acting. Having said that I did like some epis, love her married work friends comments and loved it when her dad was singing while throwing out one of the grooms, the actor was amazing when he pulled that one out.
ReplyDeleteShe was amazing and did a great job one of my favorite to watch keep up the good work.
