Review of When Do We Eat? (2006) by Lorio — 12 May 2007
This was a pleasantly, surprisingly magnificent film: funny, smart and sweet. I actually ended up buying it for my boyfriend's mom's mothers-day gift. The only reason I can figure poor ratings is due to critics unfamiliar with Jewish culture.
It is possible that you would have to be Jewish to understand all of the cultural humor. I cannot tell you how many times l laughed and almost cried. You MUST watch the entire film, and do not miss the Rabbis commentary.
This movie is so incredibly heart-warming, by the end I felt like I had fallen in love. Any generation of Jewish-American can enjoy: us kids in our late 20's, our parents, and even our Grammie! Not recommended for ultra-conservative types due to some swears as well as inconsequential sexual and drug-use "suggestiveness".
No actual drug use or sex is depicted in this film.
