Show more >> كتالوج is a film that tugs at your heartstrings while delivering a good dose of laughs. It tells the story of a dad trying to step up after his wife's passing, and boy, does he stumble! The comedy comes from his well-meaning but often misguided attempts to follow her online advice. Some scenes are laugh-out-loud funny, while others hit you right in the feels. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, though; at times it feels like it tries too hard to balance the humour with the emotional weight. Nevertheless, the performances shine, especially the kids, who bring a lot of charm to the screen. It’s not a perfect film, but if you’re looking for something that combines family warmth with relatable struggles, كتالوج is worth a watch. Show less
