When a man moves to America to pursue his dream, he becomes involved in a conspiracy to start the next world war.

In the style of Borat, director Jonathan Kesselman and cowriters Jobrani and Amir Ohebsion use raunchy, puerile humor to jab at American prejudices toward the Middle East.

1.5/4

Teetering precariously between satire and base humor, "Jimmy Vestvood" squanders opportunities for both.

Maz Jobrani's clowning is a salve for our troubling times.

Sheila Vand steals Jimmy Vestvood: Amerikan Hero as the vivacious Leila. After the smoldering, dark-eyed performance as the chador-wearing vampire in A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, it turns out a girl also has fantastic comedic chops.

8.95/10

Bold, raunchy and biting, Jimmy Vestvood is one of the most outrageously funny comedies in years.

The satire is well-balanced and, more often than not, the jokes go over like gangbusters. With its humorous cultural lens, this movie should be a career-changing moment for Jobrani.

Silly satire with a few good gags & lots of naughty bathroom humor with lots of takedowns & outs of Fox News & the rest of fake news & alt right media & all their prejudices.
