REVIEW
Promoted as a satire, it is not witty, nor clever nor sacastic. It is dull, boring and a waste of money, both yours and theirs.

According to the ads, “the film is about a group of actors playing in a movie entitled “Home for Purim,” about a rural New York family embracing their Jewish heritage.” Trouble is we have to sit and watch this ridiculous movie within a movie, and it is painful. I lasted just half an hour then walked out.

CLASSIFICATION
for sexual references and brief language.

FOR NITPICKERS ONLY
While the son and daughter are being interviewed, they both have coffee cups in their hands. At one point, the son crosses his arms and has nothing in his hands. In the following scene, he once more is holding the coffee cup.

P.S.
Never before have I seen so many flubs that did not get corrected. For example at one point Marilyn says “I can’t see why he would do that, er, why he would not do that”. This must be one really small budget film if they cannot afford to do a retake when someone messes up like that.
