  • good fil,

  • i hate fucking towelheads !

  • does anyone know the cool guitar song at 1:17-2:11

  • This move is nasty

  • "Would you describe your situation as light, medium, or heavy?" LOLOLOL cracks me up every time

  • i got a boner watching this movie... intense stuff

  • i liked the movie made me laugh when the black guy and her hooked up for the first time it lasted like 11 seconds the most realistic part in the movie

  • What is the song played at the begining of the trailer

  • This movie was great! It was really akward for me to watch, but it still sent a great message. Even though I let my kids watch R rated movies all the time, this is one that I would think twice about.

  • @Travelatrie you et your kidswhatch R rated movies, ohh your a ggood role model.... not

  • This was a good movie. Soon as I saw it I bought it the next day. Underrated movie. I dind't know when to laugh and be shocked. lol! Great movie

  • Just saw the movie. Brilliant!

    I understand it's mostly autobiographical, in which case, I praise the writer, director, actors and crew, for sharing this girl's struggle with us.

    Interesting to see how she in fact embraced her own sexuality, even amongst such seemingly, normal Americans.

    The ending clinched it.

    Touching movie. (no pun intended)

  • 0:46 they didnt show that part in the movie unless i wasnt paying fully attentchion

  • i live next to the person who wrote the novel for this, her name is Alicia something

  • @MrWasabi911 Alicia Erian

    and wow, lol how is it like?

  • @pixelated111 she knows my mom really well cause my moms i writer too :]

  • @MrWasabi911 Holy shi, have you met her? Did you ask her how much in the movie was real about her life?

  • @Slimkidd730 not really

  • He could have said "I don't want her to sleep with any boy period" but he had to make race an issue and make himself look bad.

  • It was intense and really akward to watch barely saw it today and it made me uncomfortable but still gave a message

  • The movie is pretty good. I just think this trailer is misleading though... I can't really say that this movie is a comedy as this trailer is trying to portray...

  • Wow, looks great, plus she's really pretty:)

  • @devilatyourdoor she's 12 perv

  • Comment removed

  • @backto1960 I'm a girl, i'm not gonna jump her you moron. Where does it say commenting about someone being pretty equates to me being a 30+ paedophile?

  • @backto1960 13 in the movie 18 at the time in real life

  • This is a great film in the tradition of Thirteen, Blue Car, Smooth Talk, and Hard candy in how young women face their sexuality. Props to the cast.

  • i love this movie! ive seen it like a billion timesss

  • ew pedofile!!

  • i describe her situation as heavy.

  • booooooo. that looks horrendous.

  • This movie is gold! Great acting, and it is set in the perfect time frame. This is a must see for people with open minds and understandings of different cultures. There are allot of "I don't agree but I understand where they are coming from" moments. Although..... this is not a movie for the kids or people who easily criticize. I think the director did a great job.

  • this movie was distubing, I couldn't stand the noisy ass neighbors. this country went wrong somewhere in the 90s

  • just read the book, didn't know there was a movie. book was crazy disturing, but so good

  • i lubz this movie so much the message is deep if u dnt luk deep enough u wont get it

  • the book was so awsome but so we=rong at the same time it was kinda disterbing

  • is that how american see arab men always angry loool?

    i just saw a little bit of this movie and i think the girl was a bit slut :p

    any father would be angry if his daughter did the same muslim or not!

  • It's not a stretch to say that muslim fathers tend to be more protective than others. My ex's said he'd kill himself and his daughters if they ever married an American. He smacked her & her mom around when he found our prom picture. Her uncle moved his entire family back to the middle east after my ex's cousin had a relationship with a latino boy that was discovered. Are most men of this background abusive? NO, of course not, but are muslims usually more intensely protective of girls? Yes.

  • you are probably right that most muslims are protective i don't think anybody can deny that

    but i also do know some Christian who would dislike if their daughter get married a muslim guy... anyway religion sucks :p

    by the way Maroun is christian family name in Lebanon so they are probably christian in that movie,,,

  • not really in the end she didn't want to have sex with the neighbor and kept her relationship with her black boyfriend

  • but she still got fcked by a much older man!

    what would you do if it was your daughter?

    most fathers would kill this paedophile

  • she didn't want to so it was actually rape

    and yea i would have killed him

  • harvey dent needs to get off somewhere with him cleaning up gothom and all

  • Good indie comedy drama that is dark, hard to watch and yet funny at the same time.

    why the racist title? i bet east Indian and Middle Easterns are offended by it. What next a movie about blacks called "Porch Monkey" or "Moolie"? a movie about Jews called "Sheeny"? a movie about East Indians called "Diaperhead" or "Dotface"? a movie about Asians called "Squinty-eyes"? a movie about spanish people called "Beaner"? etc. i bet those would offend people like Towelead's title would.

  • the book is the best [:

  • i know right

  • It was a good movie tho'

  • Don't see this movie with your family!! I repeat; DO NOT WATCH IT WITH YOUR FAMILY!

  • @fd9w4dncm  y not?

  • @fd9w4dncm

    It's rated R for a reason.

  • @fd9w4dncm Why? Adult content? haha

    I barely watch movies with my whole family.

  • There is such a thing as a 13 year old girl who looks 20. It's called "developing early".

  • "do you feel like a woman? uh huh. I feel like a man!" when i was watching the movie and i saw that part it made me crack up

  • The white blonde guy raped her...the girl is kinda stupid in the movie shes so quiet she barley talks! i feel bad for her. hOW DOES YOUR FATHER KICK YOU OUT OF THE HOUSE FOR USING A TAMPON!!

  • i know i say it she acted reallyy stupid

  • what da hell ... is that girl 13 ... she clearly looks at 20s ... what a stupid director

  • The actress who plays Jashira is really 21.

  • this was one of the best movies I've ever seen. The title doesn't do any justice to the film. I'm actually reading the book now.

  • This movie came on TV yesterday. I watched it It's a pretty good movie.

  • akward movie

  • Whats up with all the men in the movie wanting to shave her pubic area! I have never heard of men wanting to shave the hair off of girl's vag-a-jays by themselves!!??!! Wtf kind of thing was THAT???

    For the men on here, have you ever wanted to shave a girl's private parts??? lol

  • good movie, bad trailer

  • i seen this movie last night and i gotta say its REALLY interesting but kinda fucked up at the same time...the girl acts likes she has no sense whats so ever which bothered the hell outta me.

  • what the people in this movie are trying to say with her being so shy. Is that she is a lost shlid that has no one to relate to, being from a lebanese background, divorced parents and to top it off she is prety and going through puberty. I think thats would! put any kid over the edge. I think thats what the quiet kids feel like in school.

    :) hope that hellped

  • hmm well ok

  • lol the girl in the movie is not even Middle Eastern . She looks Indian and is Indian descent .

  • LOVE THIS MOVIE WATCHED IT WITH MY CUZ 5 TIMES.....SOOO intense

  • I just watched this movie... I hated it. The whole movie is fucked up. Fucking little prissy ass girl

  • lebanese arent black at all theyre usually white with dark hair btw what kind of name is jasira?! that name doesnt exist in the entire middle east

  • well her mom was white in the movie, so she was supposed to be only 1/2 Lebanese.

  • a name can be made up, it isnt very uncommon to make up a name.

  • why make up a name instead of using an actual one isnt it more realistic?!

  • The name already exists :)

  • this was a very good film, kudos!

  • Christian charity demands tolerance.

  • What the fuck is this hollywood shit ?

  • yeah seriously what the fuck is this shit? hahahahahaah

  • What is sorry film..all kinds of white pedi's..and an over sexed afro teen..they left out the "To Catch a Predator" from msnbc dateline in this film..

    great movie to make while the US is at war in the middle east...

  • I just watched this movie. As the mother of a 13 yr old girl. It was very difficult for me to watch. I have to say this author is either very stupid or as I prefer to believe.. very brave...

  • She doesn't look Lebanese, and Jasira IS NOT a Lebanese name, we don't have desert in Lebanon, nor towelheads, plus, we do not ride camels! haha these stereotypes make me feel sick, seriously.

    Take a look at Lebanon /watch?v=uapaHubwq3g

    or look for Lebanon Paradise on youtube.

    Enjoy!

  • yeah true because lebanese are black usually! (??)  than if she's half leb half "white" she should look less "indian". The hole movie is fucked up I'VE WATCHED IT. and now fuck off

  • Comment removed

  • You can call me moron and i can call u bitch. Which is true. But this is not the point. The movie is called towelheads because she's half lebanese, or in lebanon ppl are "white" and do not wear "towels" on their heads. This is called ignorance. Hope it's clear enough.GOODBYE.

  • Comment removed

  • hahaha yeah keep saying that to yourself kid

  • Lebanese are not usually black. If you even knew any lebanese, you would know this. Her features are similar, however her nose is different

  • this is a disgrace i think and im not even lebanese. they make out that white man a rapist and the lebanese as backward, uneducated types. guess its a case of hollywood getting everything wrong again. not to mention the movie name. imagine if there was a movie called hook nose or greedy jews or something..outrage...!! lol

  • I really think the movie is trying to draw attention to all of the stereotypes lebanese people face... The scared neibors, the spanish lady thinking she should speak spanish at home...

  • draw attention to Lebanese stereostypes? no. Watch the movie; there are graver situations it draws attention to.

  • oh rigth know im reading this book.. and i think is awesome, i didn't know that movie exist.. and i wanna watch it..

    im sorry, my english is really bad..xD

    ii was laughing, when i read about the war, saddam and you know (in this book).. hahahaha because the dont know that americans will kill him

  • fuck she's absoloutly not saudi girl ,, cuz they never do that's shit things (6) ,, !

  • Oh god.. we're watching this in PE >_>

    Isn't this like rated R??

  • Aaron Eckhart, what a creepster huh?

  • does this movie end with father beheading her for dishonoring the family?

  • Her father made me laugh at some parts.

    It's a good movie, just hard to watch at some points.

  • so i dont get it. is this supposed to be a comedy?

  • is there unrated one?

  • so raunchy...

  • خاک بر سرتان ای بی غیرتها = مالت علیکم یا عدیمی الغیرة

  • watch the first 30 minutes of this movie, and shut it off. it my just be me and my family and a good movie isnt one where we watch ppl...

  • hey just wondering what i would do. if u were the neighbour lady the minute ur husband told u about the car would u go to the childs parents or would u keep it quiet like she did. I was just thinking that the lady could have done more.

  • Comment removed

  • This movie is great.

    All you losers talking about reverse racism and how it's about perverts are idiots.

    You don't understand the message of the movie, so just shut up and stop embarassing yourselves.

  • can u explain to me what this movie's about?

    i've never seen it but i might, but what's the message? i dont wanna rent it if its wack or boring...

  • his name is Aaron Eckhart, he's just an actor, and they have to be versatile. You being so disgusted by it shows how good of an actor he is

  • wow this movie was like borderline kid porn. very uncomfortable and slightly disturbing to watch but an ok movie

  • i liked this movie.. but i think it would of been much better if it was a diffent version of an lebenese-american girl's life haha

  • @poops1 just like your sister and mother right? :D

  • @r5q5is10

    sorry dude, im christian, and not everyones mother n sister are as easy as urs :)

    dont be mad that the movie just showed the truth lol

  • your ignorance is flabbergasting!

    Bravo mista

  • I just watched this movie tonight, and it was pretty good. She girl isn't the best of actresses, but all in all, it was a good movie.

  • I hope this movie will get an audience on DVD. I think it already has. It is REALLY NOT EASY TO SIT Through but if uyou can make it you will find it a rewarding film experience. Very good movie!!

  • Isn't that guy like a pedophile.

  • yea he is...there's a book its better than tha moovie..:)

  • suuuch a good movie.

  • why did they make a movie about real life perverts? A grown man with a 13 year older. Just plain sick

  • This is the most disgusting, perverted movie ever.

  • lol2d i just seen ur plight dont bother this guy clear has a small penis and lies about his age and location cause hes a coward... who also happens to clearly be a retard mma fanboy that prob never fought anyone ever...just a little sorry speck of a person no sence answer him...dildo

  • Fuck off!!

  • it's only 7:00 here!! ok i'm done with this chat!!

  • If you saw the movie you would know that it is made for people who make some of the stupid comments made here.

  • like Hell I play with Barbie dolls!!!

  • well on your profile it says ur 44 and same goes to u asshole!!

  • ya i'm 15!! you prick!!

  • Yes i'm white!! she would never steal from me!!

  • Thats a terrible reason one of my best friends is black! she is none of those thing you just said!!

  • what did they ever do to you!!??

  • would u quit with that word!

  • What the hell are you saying?!

  • This movie was ok i mean i didn't expect all the sexual abuse and everything it was too much. The viewers can understand what is going on, i didnt think there was a need to be so explicit. Almost every scene had sexual abuse or something sexual related it was too much.

  • I really hate that father of her, he's so disgusting to watch him be so strict to her daughter.

  • this is such a great movie!!

  • It is such an amazing movie!

  • This trailer is rather misleading. It makes it look like a teen comedy which couldn't be further from the case.

  • ...shows what our little girls are thinking no matter what you tell them...watch this please

  • they did a good job of adapting the book

    i love the movie and the book

  • This movie really irritated me. Some parts were good but when it comes down to it, it was just disturbing. If you're a woman and you've been sexual abused- you may not want to see it.

  • outstanding movie!!! watch it!!

  • the book is really good

  • Who sings the 1st song? Its an 80's song. Please!!!

  • Howard Jones : Things can only get better... I think

  • Ever find out who sings the 1st song to this trailer? I've been searching and can't find out for the life of me.

  • whats this movie about?

    im confused.

    maybe im just slow.

  • basic storyline is that a girl moves to live with her father and she gets all fucked up (lol, no pun intended) by the creepo living next door.

    that's the very core of it. it's a good film altogether! tackles different issues like race and underage sex. worth watching

  • ohhh haha thanks!!

  • very disturbing movie, and i like it

  • This movie was deep, and a little disturbing just the way I like it. Seriously though this was a great film. I recommend watching it by yourself though, not a family movie lol.

  • it is very important that i know what song it is starting at 1:16

    and i mean it is very necessary haha. i like it too much.

    p.s. good freaking movie.

  • truly one of the best films ever made. is shows how close minded people can be. aaron eckhart's character was the only one with an open mind.

  • holy shit is that rio norte at 18 seconds????

  • wtf they're making it look like a comedy in the begining

    it's not..

  • i watched like 25 minutes of it..omg i turned it off because it was kidna disturbing

  • hey cenia3003 coukd you tell me the website you went to to see the movie for free. something went screwy with my itunes when i tried to buy it and i cant find it anywhere. it would be greath thanks

  • both!

  • this she end up with the neighbor or the black kid

  • The film was interesting in general, but the ending was a bit abrupt and disappointing. The trailer makes it look like the filmis about Jazeera in a love triangle with "Mr." Vuoso and her classmate. But her relationships with them are not very close or intimate. The film is really about her teen life, family and racial conflict, puberty, and strange quasiromantic relationships with her adult neighbour and her classmate.

  • In this movie the dad is a real asshole!!

  • This movie beholds some powerful shit.

  • came out on dvd 2day. judge 4 ur self

  • This film is pointless. It tries to be important and just fails, and the ending is shit.

  • yeah this movie sucks so hard you wont believe it, its a total disgrace to humanity. The director should be sent to the taliban for "treatment"

  • the worst movie i had ever watched.the whole movie is very disgusting.sorry but this movie is really sucks

  • i saw this. it was very uncomfortable to watch.

  • i agree. very uncomfortable.

  • omg i agree

    really awkward

  • lol came to see the trailer and all of a sudden I'm reading comments on geography, culture, history, anthropology lol...
