Funny man makes a smart movie about being funny... in the Muslim world.

Albert Brooks is underrated as far as I'm concerned. His Merv Griffin appearance as a ventriloquist who drops his dummy while singing "Way Down Upon the Swanee River" so that he can light and smoke a cigarette is understated and brilliant. Most of his movies and cameos are laugh-out-loud funny too, but in a world that thinks Adam Sandler is funny is there a place fo subtle, sophisticated humor?

We'll find out January 20th when his new movie opens up.
