Occasionally Hunting Elephants lumbers in sentimental directions, which hardly square with its Benny Hill-style sensibilities. Go to Full Review Tom Long Detroit News 06/04/2015

"Hunting Elephants" will not go down in the annals of comedy history, but at the least it will probably be the best screwball comedy heist movie mostly spoken in Hebrew in theaters this year. Go to Full Review Barbara VanDenburgh Arizona Republic 05/28/2015
2/5
The tired caper flick can't crack a smile, never mind a bank vault. Go to Full Review Hannah Brown Jerusalem Post 03/22/2016
Levi, who made Lost Islands, a melodrama that was quite popular here a few years ago, is an accomplished showman and has made an entertaining comedy. Go to Full Review Norman Wilner NOW Toronto 12/18/2015

Hunting Elephants can't even be enjoyed ironically; believe me, I tried. Go to Full Review Elias Savada Film International 07/10/2015

09/22/2018 Required subtitles so I do not enjoy as I can’t follow it and watch picture at same time See more 06/21/2018 Entertaining, best of its genre including those made with big name actors See more 02/27/2016 2/27/16 Amazon Video A cute, fun and entertaining movie with some good comedic lines that men of a certain age will enjoy and relate to. Certainly not a comedy classic but a nice light departure to the murder and mayhem of most movies. See more 11/17/2015 I LOVED this film. I thought it was hilarious and well acted. One of the best comedies I have seen. Perhaps you have to be Jewish to really get it. It got 7 nominations for awards, one of which was "Best Film." I don't understand the low ratings on the tomatometer. See more 05/31/2015 Not quite what the trailer implied, very disjointed, could have been much better with a little script maneuvering! See more 05/16/2015 Why did people not enjoy this? Was it TOO different from the American mainstream? This was fun and enjoyable. See more Read all reviews
