Moshe Yehuda (Jos Laniado), a Hasidic Rabbi and amateur Hora dancer, enters a big televised Tango competition to save his Hebrew school from bankruptcy. There is only one problem: due to his orthodox religious beliefs, he is not allowed to touch a woman! At odds with his wife and five kids, the Grand Rabbi of his orthodox sect, and Moshe's entire Hasidic community in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Moshe is forced to ask a Catholic priest, a Muslim imam, and a Sikh holy man for advice. Together, they hash out a plan to help Moshe dance in the Tango contest "without sacrificing his sacred beliefs, setting in motion a fun, passionate dance movie. Heart-pumping and heartwarming, "TANGO SHALOM" tests the bonds of family and community, and the bounds of tolerance and faith.

Loved it. Especially now; cultural insight leads to tolerance and appreciation. Got to explore a couple new worlds—Orthodox Judaism and Tango—and had lots of laughs along the way. Well done, cast and crew!

Common Sense Media

This faith-based comedy has a good heart with its lively, sometimes funny look at a man from an interesting culture that's not often seen in movies.

Rated: 3/5

Culture Mix

With not enough dancing and too many bad jokes, Tango Shalom is filled with cringeworthy acting and shallow clichés about religions and ethnicities. This movie about a tango contest ultimately devalues the dance rehearsals.

Original Cin

Tango Shalom is silly interfaith fun, if heavy on the schmaltz.
