The best comedy movie Ihave seen recently. Well acted,written, a humotous way to look at a dysfunctional family that works on their problems. Very engaging. I have reccomended it to all my friends.

A Favorite

This is a funny irreverent movie. If you have ever sat through a long Passover seder, and they are all long, you know where the title comes from. Hilarious and poignant look into family dynamics. I highly recommend watching the special feature about the Haggadah that is used in this seder. Very meaningful. This is a movie I have handed around, and watch each year before Passover.

Free shipping, but no product to ship
Added 1/30/2010
The ad said free shipping, so I ordered 5 of the same DVDs. I got the bill, which included shipping and wrote back that the site said shipping was free. This was about one week after I submitted the order. They said ok, that shipping would be free. About 5 days later , the company wrote and said the entire order was back ordered and thay didn't know when I would get it. In the meantime, they charged my credit card, which I received yesterday and the company had charged my card. Now I need to call my credit card company to reverse the charges.
I have had no problems ordering from Amazon, and nothing but problems when I ofder from a different vendor off of the Amazon site.
I will never do it again.

When Do We Eat
Added 5/10/2009
When I saw this DVD online I purchased it thinking that it sounded like a great plot line, had wonderful actors, and that it should be great entertainment. It is not. The movie itself is painfully slow and equally painful to watch. The plot line sounds good, but it never develops into an entertaining action line. Additionally, the technical quality is poor and the format is an incredibly annoying small, narrow screen. There are a few moments here and there (which is why I gave it 2 stars as opposed to 1), but nothing compelling enough to make it worth your money or your time. You'll regret it if you purchase this one. Pass it by.

Dude, this is a great movie
Added 4/8/2009
Many people will find this movie to be too "West Coast dysfunctional". Many of the jokes are based on worn out Jewish stereotypes which some viewers may find offensive. But remember, it is a movie about a disastrous Passover Seder. This wacky movie takes all the dysfunction found in a whole community of families, and puts them all together in one family. From incest, drug abuse, and adultery, to more complex themes of generational communication, there is something for everyone in this movie. It is a haunting movie that I wasn't sure I liked at first, but found myself thinking about it days later. I watched it a second time and will probably have to watch it a third or forth time to finally get it out of my system. The movie is simple and stereotypical sophomoric humor on one level, and deep philosophical truths on another level. This movie may not be for you, but for some of us out there, this is a jewel.
