Excuse My French (La Moakhza) is Salama's third feature, a movie that stirred considerable controversy during its release in 2014.

Even after the changes, though, the censors refused the film again in 2010, claiming that it would fuel sectarian strife and that it did not reflect behaviours that exist in Egyptian society.

Taking place in Egypt, Excuse My French follows 12-year-old Hany, played by Ahmed Dash, as he tries to fit in at his new public school following the death of his banker father.

"[1] Tom Palmer, of ScreenRellish, said in regards to the humor in the film, "[it] lies in its lack of conviction towards its “Faith is for God and homeland is for all” purported message of peace and harmony.

"[2] 'Excuse My French' reached the top of the Egyptian box office in the first week of its theatrical release, during which it was shown in 31 theaters.
