this be a fact that this be the 1st saudi feature film to be show in cinema theater but not in saudi arabia for a simple reason we do not have cinema theater in our large kingdom . not only one cinema theater . the government forbid open cinema theater after the islamic extremist or the religious police ( or both ) ask for close it in the late 1970s and the early 1980s . accuse the 7th art with encourage wrong sex relationship and stuff like that . i do not see a powerful reason why we do not open cinema theater . . we have many video store throughout the kingdom and we watch movie in the tv from some satellite channel and we can install the showtime set channel and after all movie in general seem harmless in many way . i know many people how go to neighbor country only to watch a couple of film . i personally go to bahrain several time only to watch film in theater because watch it there be big fun unlike watch a movie home . saudis pay the most expensive cinema ticket in the world and we travel to watch movie while the rest of the world have cinema theater around every town . this be one of the problem that we be have . . the movie be produce and present by rotana film entertainment which be a major company belong to the saudi tycoon prince alwaleed bin talal ( the 8th rich man in the world ) . the movie title be a word mean literally how be you . but it be also a slang mean what up . and sometimes use a a slang to say bad about something and sometimes be use a a slang to tell someone politely to mind his business and not to interfere in someone else affair . anyway and i think they mean ( how be you ) and ( what up . ) in the same time and i could be wrong though . male actor be from saudi arabia like hisham abdulrahman who be very famous and have some popularity after win 1st prize in arabian realty show more like american idol and he work in some tv program like the arabian version of cash taxi . the other famous actor be khaled sami who be funny and have a very good sense of humor . other actor like mishal al mutairi and turki al yusuf and ali al sabea be less famous and they work on some tv series show . female actress be non saudi and they do a very good job speak the saudi accent . jordanian actress mais hamdan in lead role and emeriti actress fatima al hawsani . not that we do not have saudi actress but be few and not that good . a saudi critic rja al mutairi who write for alriyadh newspaper ( the most popular newspaper in the kingdom ) write about it say represent let not expect much of the 1st saudi feature film . it be bear in unusual circumstance therefore we can not judge it under the usual standard like any other film . it be a fact that the movie hit a huge financial success in it 1st opening day only in kingdom of bahrain . the movie be fresh and be about a saudi family deal ( interacts ) with controversial fresh issue inside the saudi society like represent woman drive car and the low shallow thought about the art and the guardianship of the society by a certain group and the difference between be conservative and be an extremist . the idea be good but you feel you be lose in the middle of the movie . one of the movie advantage be the beautiful music score by rajeh dawood which be good but sometimes it doesn not match or express what in the picture . turki al yusuf do a great job . his performance be the best alongside with mais hamdan . the big loser be the lead actor hisham abdulrahman who come behind the support actor mishal al mutairi and ali al sabea and khaled sami who do a good job within the limit of their role . after all and keif al hal . even with all of it disadvantage still an ok movie and it be a very good 1st step of rotana . and the movie become the speech of people and street which be a golden goal to make a strong debate inside the saudi society about movie in general until they become aware of the importance of the 7th art and other artsps represent there be another saudi filmmaker abdullah almohaisen claim that he direct the 1st saudi movie title shadow of silence . i haven not see the movie yet . i hope i have be helpful .
