VOY! VOY! VOY! is a wild ride of a film that combines humor and heartfelt moments in a unique way. The plot involves a security guard named Hassan, who dreams of living abroad, suddenly finds himself in the world of blind soccer.
Muhammad Farrag’s portrayal of Hassan is a comedic masterpiece, as he navigates the challenges of pretending to be visually impaired. The film’s humor often comes from the situations Hassan finds himself in and you can’t help but chuckle at his over-the-top antics. Nelly Karim as Engy adds depth to the story, portraying Hassan’s love interest with sincerity.
But here’s the kicker – the plot has more holes than a Swiss cheese factory. I mean, how does Hassan manage to keep up this charade on a professional soccer team? It’s a soccer tournament, not a school play! And while the film tries to tackle serious themes like dreams and deception, it often gets lost in its own slapstick humor.
The film’s energy is contagious, thanks in part to the supporting cast. Bayoumi Fouad as Captain Adel is a scene-stealer, delivering punchlines with impeccable timing. His interactions with Hassan are comedy gold, and their on-screen chemistry is undeniable. While VOY! VOY! VOY! may not be a cinematic masterpiece, it certainly knows how to keep the laughter rolling, making it a memorable, if not entirely cohesive, comedy experience.
In the end, VOY! VOY! VOY! is a fun, if somewhat uneven, ride. It’s like ordering a pizza with all your favorite toppings, but they forgot to add the cheese. So, we’d rate it a solid 6/10 – worth a watch if you’re in the mood for some lighthearted escapism and don’t mind suspending your disbelief like it’s a soccer ball in mid-air.
