I think it was the word "comedy" that threw me. The description was interesting enough, but a Jeresalem/Palestine romantic comedy? My instinct is to pass on this one as well.

This movie has a Romeo and Juliet feel to it, but the whole "comedy" word throws that feel out the window. I'm also passing on this one.
