Loren King Boston Globe Oy vey doesn't begin to address the result. Rated: 2/4 Feb 28, 2013 Full Review Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times The road to the inevitable slapsticky Seder is paved with more sweetness than bite, a good deal of frantic foolishness and progressively thinner laughs, all wrapped in a message of acceptance and inclusiveness. Rated: 2/5 Jan 17, 2013 Full Review Kyle Smith New York Post Among gay Jewish French postman movies, "Let My People Go!" may be a Hall of Fame entry, but alas, by any other standard this would-be sex comedy is a dismal failure. Rated: 1/4 Jan 11, 2013 Full Review Jack Fleischer Battleship Pretension When it comes down to it, this movie is a lot like a cat video. It's cute, and I stay involved in order to have the satisfaction of resolution. Other than that, there isn't a plot or character I feel I can relate to. Mar 22, 2021 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row It's a bit too broad at times, and the outrageousness of the stereotypes are often so over the top as to be silly rather than truly funny, but there's a certain charm about it that is hard to resist. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 6, 2019 Full Review Peter Keough Boston Phoenix Though the film alludes repeatedly to the story of Exodus, it remains bound to hysterical stereotypes and hyperbolic plotting. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 28, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews
