One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This was an entertaining and upbeat film, a well crafted love story. The acting, screenplay and cinematography were all excellent. I found the story line to be very compelling. The actors were all convincing in their roles and the story was beautifully told. Sam, a former Army officer who had supposedly returned "unscathed" from tours in Iraq and Afghanistan was nonetheless having problems adjusting to civilian life. Amira was an Iraqi immigrant who was also having difficulties in America, and in particular had suspicions about American soldiers. Their meeting (through her uncle, his former translator in Iraq) led to romance. How they both dealt with the prejudices of the people around them was very revealing.I thought the screenplay was excellent and the production values were superb.View and enjoy!

Amira & Sam is the story of two unlikely love birds running away together. It shows you who Amira is: a strong and independent Muslim woman who is in total control, even when she is looked down on by her peers. It shows you who Sam is: an Iraq war veteran who is trying adjust to present-day America after serving multiple tours in Iraq.It's Sean Mullin's directorial debut and it packs quite a punch for an indy picture. What stole the show for me was the 7-minute uncut scene in the middle of the film in which Amira and Sam share secrets, jokes, and kisses. It's in this scene that I fell in love with Amira & Sam. Take 90 short minutes and rent Amira & Sam on VOD or iTunes. Or take a trip to the silver screen and support this picture. You won't regret it.

Amira & Sam is a delight - tackles multiple political and social issues with finesse - great acting and witty script that will have you laughing out of loud.Don't be fooled. Amira & Sam is not just the standard indie, rom-com, boy meets girl story. The movie shows a different perspective on struggle of a solider returning from war and weaves together a sweet story with fabulous acting that feels raw, genuine and unpredictable. The chemistry and depth of characters portrayed by Starr and Shihabi brings the film to life. Perfect for a date night or rainy afternoon - a must see! And looking forward to more from first-time writer / director Sean Mullen.

Amira and Sam is an issue driven comedic love story. Shihabi and Starr bring a generic love story to life. Sam is a soldier without post- traumatic stress returning to a country with post-traumatic stress. Amira is a displaced Iraqi constantly defying stereotypes and prejudices which Director Mullin accurately identifies in America today. This movie isn't some deep thought provoking indie film. It's an hour and a half of romantic entertainment.This low budget indie has it's obvious technical flaws. However, as the film progresses the story becomes so engaging and realistic that you lose sight of it's flaws.
