missdeenar In some level, this movie represents such high perception of marriage and life. If most of us are lost in love and lust, not with Fahri and Aisha. There's a certain exclusivity that we rarely find. They both could be this couple we look for, with their high devotion in their religion.It's pretty interesting when I see women in the movie are obsessed with Fahri. It's ordinary if a guy chased a girl, it's pretty much in the nature. There are moments when he's just so perfect, it's too good to be true. Sure, he's cute with good manners, a combination we usually never find. It's his character to be innocent, but I see it kind of annoying. He's slow with reading signs and expressions (from a woman) and slow in making decisions.Aisha is this perfect woman, brave and good heart, played very well by Rianti R. Cartwright. She's more tough than Maria. Maria in the other hand is more childish and more balanced with Fahri. She's as good heart as Aisha, but not that mature.This is pretty much the only movie that can make me understood why polygamy can be done; it consists with humans that make marriage only in the name of God, not others, pure and that is it. But, cynically, I can only say this picture-perfect might be only in this movie.Other things that made the movie different, it's the exotic feel of the location. The story is actually based in Cairo, Egypt, but instead of shooting in Cairo, the movie was shot in India and Semarang, Indonesia. Well done.Should definitely watch this movie if you're a bit curious about Islam. It can be watched in general.www.inspiredground.blogspot.com

amet2 Well. I am no movie expert. But since the movie got a lot of hype, I was hoping that the movie can at least be a decent one. Another disappointment. The director wasn't able to develop each of the character fully. The main character Fahri, is like a cartoon superhero character, like spider-man or batman, that we know already exist before the movie starts. Too superficial. Each scene is cut too obviously, no flow whatsoever. The storyline is OK, but the execution needs a lot of work. To me, the best actor in the movie is the crazy person in jail with Fahri, the main character. And I think that, the title doesn't suit the movie at all. I don't see any love in it: Love of Fahri's, nor Aisyah, or Maria. And the lessons about the goodness of Islam: The lessons are good. Very practical and common sense. But the way its delivered, its too 'stiff'. Very "set-up" and forced. Doesn't go with each scene. May be they are after the PG audience.And oh.. the commercial. Product placements. Its ridiculous. And I think its not appropriate. Makes the movie really cheap. The only positive thing about the movie, is I think the soundtrack.

rinosurya two thumbs up and hats off to the director of this movie, Hanung Brahmantyo.from this movie, you could see another side of Islam. I guess the director is success to bring the core idea of this movie that Islam is not always related with brutality.rianti cartwright as Aishah has played her role perfectly. Her eyes is so magnificent. I can see her emotion through her beautiful eyes although she used a 'cadar' ( i don't know this word in English, a piece of fabric that covers his mouth ).cant say nothing else, i have watched it for 6 times on the cinema, the most highest appreciation that i have given to an indonesian movie!

KaiToU KiD Overall, it was better than most Indonesian movies about love. the rating is a bit equal with Deddy Mizwar's films. But of course, Deddy Mizwar's films was better :)This movie was originated from a famous novel with the same title. The novel was written by Habiburrahman El-Shirazy. But the full story of the movie was different, compared to the original novel by Habiburrahman El-Shirazy. Because of this, many Indonesian people who've read the novel before watching the movies was so upset, because they've many differences. :OIf you've read the novel,then you must watch the movies ;)
