2.5/5
While its situations are more complex and less ham-fisted than those in many inspirational stories of reaffirmed faith, Mooz-lum...suffers from one-note characterizations. Go to Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter 02/14/2011
Sensitive performances smooth out the dramatic rough spots of this well-intentioned, racially-charged drama. Go to Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times 02/10/2011

I cried because I saw pieces of my soul in a movie. It spoke to me; deeply. It's a movie that, on some level, I was thirsty for. And I hadn't realized how thirsty I was. Go to Full Review Frank Wilkins Reel Reviews 04/04/2011
3/5

Ariya A @RT81913715 04/02/2023 Why is Nia Long's character wearing a hijab at home? Unless she was just about to step out. Too many stereotypes. Good script. It's annoying how strict some parents can be. It's not just a movie. See more 03/16/2013 absolutely loved the message, the cast were fabulous and brought their characters to life. Really wish this would clarify many misconceptions about muslims as if opened my eyes. See more 02/08/2013 I thought it's going to be better than this. Reviews are misleading See more 01/06/2013 Very powerful, a few acting quirks, but impressive See more 10/22/2012 Powerful movie shown on TV See more 05/09/2012 Thought provoking,and quite entertaining,See it if you can...you will be truely happy for the time well spent.
