The Band's Visit Earns Five Grace Notes

A funny thing happens on the way to the Arab Cultural Center in Israel.
The Egyptian band set to perform at the opening ceremony gets hopelessly lost. With their gold-braided, robins egg blue uniforms slapped against the desert sands, these guys couldn't look more alien. And yet...
If only Arab/Israeli relations followed this script, the Movie Slut would dance the hora.
You will too, if you take in this serene, soulful, soft-hearted flick.
