Product Description

This year his son (Ben Feldman) slips him a dose of ecstasy at the beginning of the evening in order to give him a new perspective. Mom (Lesley Ann Warren) brings a special friend to dinner and now the family is taking sides. By the end of the evening Ira has become a moder. By the end of the evening Ira has become a modern day Moses leading his family to the promised land of family forgiveness.

Not family viewing2
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 Humor4
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 religion5
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!
