So, 'It Is Really A Respectable Family' is this curious blend of comedy and family drama that Samir Al Asfory crafts quite well. You get this father, who’s really committed to his kids, trying to juggle life after losing his wife. It’s a bit of a slow burn, but that only adds to the emotional weight as he starts to fall for this dancer. The humor feels organic, often coming from awkward moments rather than forced gags. There’s a certain charm in the performances; the father’s struggle feels genuine. It’s interesting how the film tackles themes of love and responsibility, contrasting the mundane with the vibrant world of the dancer. Not many films from '79 capture that atmosphere quite like this one.
