Bardlerx Strictly average movie

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

dd27 I thought I had heard some awful comments about this movie, so I skipped seeing it last spring. I just watched the DVD and the film had many plot twists, interesting character analyses, a lot of Judaic references, great music, great acting...it was totally worth seeing. It's a shame there's some "blue" words, because if you can get over it, it's a movie that's totally apt for a confirmation class, and even young adults, if they are into Jewish history and family relationships, will get something of great value from viewing this film. I highly recommend it. Don't get turned off by the somewhat slow start...there is a lot to come. Also some of the alternate menu options are worth exploring.

latriciasaucier My twin sister Patricia and I love Adam Lamberg. That is why we brought the movie. He did fantastic in it. He blew us away. We actually thought his character Lionel was autistic and felt bad for him because of how crazy his family is. Then all of sudden he told everybody he was faking all this time. That made me want to smack him because he had me going for so long. He stole the movie for my sister and I. It is not easy to portray a kid with a handicap and I thought he did very well. I think he should be noticed for that. We think that he did an exceptional job. The rest of the cast did a great job as well. As a non-Jew I am now curious to know more about Jews and what they believe in. My cousin Jonah, my sister and I just got done learning about the Passover. I completely forgot what the Passover is.

magicpaul-2 Along with Adam Goldberg's Shaft-parody, "The Hebrew Hammer," the marvelous indie "When Do We Eat" is one of the two finest contemporary comedies with Jewish themes -- a far cry from the traditional Jewish cinema pantheon of "Fiddler," "Crossing Delancy," "Yentl" and "The Chosen." Uproariously funny, sexy and occasionally profane, yes -- but it's also deeply affectionate as "When Do We Eat" pokes fun at the righteousness of the orthodox, Passover traditions, and maddening family members from stoners to sex workers and Moshe Dayan look-a-likes. The script is sharp, the acting terrific ("Quincy" alum Jack Klugman is a riot as the Holocaust-surviving grandfather), and the hallucinogenic production values - inspired by legendary Hagadah books - is brilliant. An antidote to anyone who laments the laundering of authentic Jewish content from ostensibly Jewish TV sit-coms and films. Bravo!

castleb7 If this is your "typical" Jewish family getting together for a Seder, then I am glad my family isn't "typical". This movie was an excuse to show neurotic Jewish people sitting around table and they saved it to show at Passover. My friends and I are all Jewish and we saw nothing we could relate to in the movie. Period. Even if the throw the word "matzoh" around another 100 times, and throw in some Biblical passages about Elijah, this movie does NOT represent anyone or anything I have ever seen at a Seder. C'mon folks. Please save your money and see something you can stay awake to. I know I couldn't. The only redeeming aspect of this movie is the occasionally whimsical Klezmer music combined with some Rasta. I read all the reviews before I went to see it and thought I was going to be entertained. Instead, I took a nap and for that, I didn't have to spend money in the middle of the afternoon. Attend a real Seder. This (to me) was nothing but slapstick with a Haggadah thrown in for good measure. Terrible.
