      Audience Member It was funny and relateable, if not a bit over the top. Jack Klugman does a great job making you laugh and feel for him. The cast shows the extreme craziness that can happen in a dysfunctional family. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Good. Not too much to see. The film has ofcourse lots of Jewish terms. It has lots of very funny moments. Overall unless you like watching movies about passover, don't bother. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Very funny. We Jews are very good at making fun of ourselves. Extremely dysfunctional family makes this a classic for Passover. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Oy. A few laughs here early on, but you pay for it in the schmaltz at the end. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched this during pesach and really enjoyed it. This movie with alot of realistic and "over the top" antics mix very well. I could identify with many of the situations and characters since I know a lot of friends and family encounter similar situations. Overall its a pretty funny movie. if you are jewish could you imagine rolling at your seder?

      Geoff Pevere Toronto Star Litvak's movie almost immediately barges across the line separating the comically absurd from the outright obnoxious. Rated: 2/4 May 5, 2006 Full Review Jason Anderson Globe and Mail Manages to be broad, mawkish and mean-spirited all at once. Rated: 1.5/4 May 5, 2006 Full Review Claudia Puig USA Today A haunting and disturbing film. Rated: 3/4 May 4, 2006 Full Review Frank Lovece Film Journal International There's something very sweet and real beneath all the bluster, braggadocio, disgust and denial, pushing through as improbably and miraculously as Moses through the Red Sea. Feb 6, 2007 Full Review Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com We're basically left with a wild-eyed group of actors who probably had a lot more fun shooting When Do We Eat? than they did watching it. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 25, 2006 Full Review Jordan Hiller Bangitout.com even with all the strange impractical goings on, as with all in this recent string of popular entertainment culled from authentic orthodoxy, there are moments of sheer breathtaking joy that elevate the spirit of a Jew by speaking to their core. Rated: 2/4 Aug 16, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews
