The film is charming but slight. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 09/16/2021
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. Go to Full Review Liam Lacey Original Cin 09/10/2021
B-minus
Tango Shalom is silly interfaith fun, if heavy on the schmaltz. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephanie L 04/05/2024 A Delightful New York Story - Funny, Heartwarming, and Full of Charm! See more Ray J 02/23/2023 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! See more Ahmedson P 09/15/2022 I thought this was great! what didchu all think about it!? See more A A @Ahmed8128181811 08/23/2022 worth almost every shekel! See more 01/24/2022 A bit of an uneven start but the movie really picks up with genuinely funny scenes, a compelling story, and an unexpected but satisfying ending. Very much worth watching, and Lainie Kazan is low-key hilarious. See more 01/23/2022 I loved Tango Shalom! This movie was so refreshing and just really made me root for them by the end. I think everyone should see this because it is so positive and it's the kind of movie you can watch again, especially once the dancing starts you really want to see them get their dream!
