Cairo Time


Clarkson (Easy A) is a busy magazine editor that goes to Egypt for a vacation with her husband. Problem is her husband is not there - a crisis in Gaza has sent him to Israel - he's with the UN. At the beginning we find out that they are happy, have a long time marriage, and they have grown children. It seems like she wants them to spend time together now like she's ready for that part of her life to begin - he on the other hand it seems like he's not ready. During her weeks there her husband friend played by Siddig (Primevil, Strike Back, Waking the Dead, and other English productions - I remember his early years on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) - he's from Northern Sudan FYI - spends time showing Clarkson's character around and they have some great conversations. Well, they fall in love - this breaks my heart. They don't even really kiss or anything because the night the before she is supposed to leave her husband finally shows up & I'm like NOOOOO. It's horrible of me to say - but she and Siddig's character are so perfect together and I just wanted to them to kiss and end up together. All in all, I say: RENT IT or see on Showtime - the scenery of Egypt was nice.
