Linda Barnard Toronto Star Occasionally Hunting Elephants lumbers in sentimental directions, which hardly square with its Benny Hill-style sensibilities. Rated: 2/4 Jun 11, 2015 Full Review Tom Long Detroit News "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. Rated: B- Jun 4, 2015 Full Review Barbara VanDenburgh Arizona Republic The tired caper flick can't crack a smile, never mind a bank vault. Rated: 2/5 May 28, 2015 Full Review Hannah Brown Jerusalem Post 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. Mar 22, 2016 Full Review Norman Wilner NOW Toronto Hunting Elephants can't even be enjoyed ironically; believe me, I tried. Rated: 1/5 Dec 18, 2015 Full Review Elias Savada Film International ... despite the best efforts of its cast, Hunting Elephants is a tame comedic excursion into a flimsy world of social lechery and geriatric dysfunction, albeit one that garnered seven Israeli Film Academy Awards nominations. Rated: 2/5 Jul 10, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Required subtitles so I do not enjoy as I can’t follow it and watch picture at same time Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/22/18 Full Review Audience Member Entertaining, best of its genre including those made with big name actors Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Not quite what the trailer implied, very disjointed, could have been much better with a little script maneuvering! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Why did people not enjoy this? Was it TOO different from the American mainstream? This was fun and enjoyable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
