The Infidel

The Infidel just doesn't cut it as a drama, a comedy, a satire or anything bar a rather dull cartoonish farce.

Tthis thing plays like a cheeky Brit-com blown up to feature length, with a thin coat rack of plot to hang the ethnic humour on, and a wish to offend without being offensive.

An admirably cagey effort to mine humor from the thorny cultural and racial divide that is Muslim-Jewish relations.

I think it was rather brave of Baddiel to go down the route of exploring religious stereotypes, and using mockery rather than satire.
