Movie Reviews

It's a love story plus a family love story.

I love movies that help humans grow and learn. I felt all the actors did a really good job. The actors really did well with the characters. I know people in real life especially the main actress, her character is like someone I actually know.

I was brought up Christian so I liked the extra time they gave in showing how a Jewish holiday is preformed. I thought the ending had integrity for all the lies. It really was funny at times and believable and magical. It's an enjoyable film worth watching. I wanted to rate it an 8 to make it a higher rating but it's really a 6 which means it's worth watching.

A romantic comedy with an ORIGINAL premise

A tiny spoiler follows:

Here's a Jewish chick who has a non Jewish boyfriend so she hires one from an escort service!

The young lady's parents are very, very much into Judaism so she's in a pickle. The gentile boyfriend is an unhappy camper about all this stuff. Well, what can he do? And as for the escort, he's not exactly as ordered. Can he pull off being a Jew in a Jewish household full of folks who are really into being Jews and follow a variety of rituals, especially when dining?

All in all, it's somewhat sappy flick but very enjoyable. It's suitable for all age groups. The acting is OK but nothing special. The actors don't have a lot of tense situations to deal with. It is a romantic comedy after all. I loved the fact that it has an original premise but then again, I don't watch many romantic comedies.
