Excuse My French was a huge success in Egyptian theatres reaping revenues that exceeded 8 million EGP after 12 weeks of its release. It also carried on its flourishing commercial tour in Montreal, Canada in March, 2014. Only 3 days before its commercial release in Egyptian theatres, Excuse My French had its world premiere at the Opening Gala of Luxor Egyptian and European Film Festival on January 19th, 2014, whereas last April marked the film's US Premiere at Washington D.C.

Starring Kinda Alloush, Hany Adel, and the talented child Ahmed Dash, the film is distributed in Egyptian theaters by United Artistic Group, whereas the Al Massah Art Production is handling its theatrical release across the world.

Excuse My French tells the story of a child called Hany Abdallah Peter whose life turns upside down after the death of his father and his mother's discovery of the huge debts they have to pay. Hany is forced to experience the huge gap between classes after moving from his old elite private school to a public one. Things get complicated for Hany after having to hide being a Christian surrendering to the assumptions of his classmates and teachers who didn't read his full name and has mistaken him for a Muslim.
