About This Movie

Number One (2008) is this quirky comedy that dives into gender roles with a rather unusual twist. The story revolves around Aziz, a quintessential Moroccan macho man who undergoes a wild transformation into a 'super feminist' after his wife, in a fit of frustration, casts a spell on him. The film balances humor with a touch of social commentary, exploring themes of masculinity and feminism through a comedic lens. You can expect a playful atmosphere, with performances that, while perhaps not Oscar-worthy, bring a certain charm to the absurdity of the situation. The pacing is erratic at times, which adds to its offbeat feel. It’s a distinct take on personal change, with practical effects that enhance the surreal moments without being overdone.
