Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden?

Cert: 12A

Description: Documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock embarks on an irreverent Middle Eastern road trip that begins in Egypt and ventures through Morocco, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Pakistan. He interviews people from each country to gauge attitudes towards the West and Al Qaeda, after undertaking intensive survival training which teaches him the basics of overpowering a gun-wielding attacker and ensuring a vehicle is clear of explosives. While he ventures around the globe, the director's wife Alex waits nervously at home in New York, preparing to give birth to their first child.

Where in the world is Osama Bin Laden?
Silly: Where in the world is Osama Bin Laden

By Derek Malcolm
8 May 2008


This silly and inconsequential film has Morgan Spurlock, of Super Size Me fame, travelling to Afghanistan and Pakistan in an attempt to find the world’s nastiest terrorist.

Of course, he doesn’t get anywhere near him. He pretends throughout the film to be the naïve American and, frankly, it doesn’t take much acting. The ensuing romp is marginally amusing, but takes some getting through — and all the anxious phone calls to his pregnant wife are increasingly irritating.
