You feel sorry for everyone who's working so hard to prop up the farce - especially Mr. Fogel, the director, whose work seems alternately desperate and lost.

Rated: 1.5/5

To call this winkfest toward an astoundingly retrograde sliver of Judaism offensive would be, well, offensive to the word offensive.

New York Daily News

Fogel and co-writer Sam Wolfson - adapting their own off-Broadway play - take ... a lazy approach to the cultural divides they aim to satirize.

Predictable? Yes. Entertaining? Yes. Funny? Oh my God, yes! One of the funniest films of the year!

Crass comedy relies on stereotypes and profanity.

A funny walk on the meshugener side for those who can still laugh at religious stereotypes.

Jewtopia had a few laughs but the more the film goes the more vulgar and over-the-top it gets. The script is messy in the movie doesn’t really go anywhere. Its an OK movie for a few jokes and a great cast but it’s pretty forgettable overall.

Since when is Jewish humor so vulgar? (Mauro Lanari)

This was an old-fashioned, offensive, politically incorrect, parody of itself. The great cast overacts to perfection. If outrageous religious jokes and awkward family situations are funny to you, watch this movie. The closing faux ad for the Vaginal Corrective Surgery is worth the watch.

Started out with a nice premise, a gentile in love with Jewish culture. But it goes off the rails and over the top, losing me along the way. Pity really. My DVD was titled Finding Ms Right.

Just finished watching this movie on Netflix and I have to say this is probably the most offensive thing I've ever seen my life. I'm assuming they were attempting to make light of stereotypes but the attempt at humor was so heavy handed that it got downright awkward at times. When I wasn't cringing and feeling bad for the actors who got roped into making this POS, I was bored out of my skull. I'm not Jewish. I don't claim to speak on behalf of Jewish person. I say this on behalf of myself, a human being with eyes and a brain. This film was offensive and bad. The people who came up with this movie should be fired out of a cannon into the sun. The only reason I'm giving Jewtopia a star is because zero stars is not an option. Avoid like the plague. In fact, go to the Midwest, rub a rat on your face and get the plague. It would be far more enjoyable than watching this movie.
