Jewish comedy and music September 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The movie can be hysterically funny for the Jewish viewer. The music is wonderful. Our chavurah loved it. It also offers some veiled innuendos of Kabbalah. Everything that could go wrong at a seder, in a very exaggerated way, with a highly disfunctional family, is effectively resolved in the end. It is a feel-good movie.
Not family viewing January 7, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
This film has content that makes it suitable only for those aged over 16 or so. It is not what I would call a "family movie".
Inside Humor May 15, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you're not Jewish (or play one on tv), you may not get the humor and "inside jokes" on this DVD. I daresay that if you're a Jew who's embarrassed by the old traditions, you may not get or like this movie. I loved this movie and laughed all the way through, except, of course, at the poignant parts.
Jack Klugman is a gem in this movie and by far my favorite character. Although we were way too busy to show this at Pesach for our guests, this a movie worth enjoying all year 'round.
A surprise when it becomes a meaningful tribute to the Jewish religion April 17, 2007 At first my very conservative Jewish friend felt offended when I showed her the movie. At the end of the movie she admitted how great it was which is not easy for this girl. Having been around the 3 jewish roommates in college and being taken to many a passover dinner I thought it was beyond funny. Throughout the movie the importance of the Sedar is stressed by Grandpa. Grandpa is right. The characters and their acting really made it seem like you were going to another Sedar. Watch with someone Jewish for explanation or just watch. Everyone should go to a Sedar Dinner!
"Gee -- felt a fish?" March 8, 2007 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Indeed, sometimes over the top, and other times below the belt... this film must be destined to be a perennial favorite. Once in awhile a cliche, or "oh, I've heard that before" -- are moments few and lean. Not always believable, but ever entertaining. As a Christian I enjoyed it, and as knowing some Jewish people I enjoyed it. I'm not one to think much of most comedies out there, but this was a real charmer. Enjoy!!!
