Comedy or Travesty?

Kei sent me this link today, asking me whether I thought this was a good or a bad idea. I think it's the sort of thing that will either be really good, or really really bad. But, as I've said before to people who disagree strongly with me, I think it's important that anything be open to comedic interpretation. Thus, I am completely in favor of this movie being made. But I may not be in favor of the movie itself. Does this make sense?

Sony Pictures was originally going to distribute the film but chose not to, citing controversy over the film's title which they wanted to change. Warner Independent Pictures picked up the film.

Sounds like a funny movie, even though the idea seems very Orientalist (in the Said sense).
