Gad Elmaleh: American Dream

Gad Elmaleh: American Dream (2018) is a stand-up special you can watch online on iFILM. French-Moroccan comedian Gad Elmaleh steps onstage in English for the first time and unpacks what it actually feels like to start over in the United States.

A huge name in French-language comedy who used to fill arenas in Paris, Elmaleh plays the wide-eyed newcomer here — tripping over slang, lost in dating culture, amazed that Americans treat their food with such reverence. He turns his own accent into a running joke and every misunderstanding into a bit. Made for Netflix and clocking in under an hour, it's an easy watch for anyone who enjoys observational comedy about culture clash. Stream Gad Elmaleh: American Dream (2018) online on iFILM.
