Review of The Hebrew Hammer (2003) by Kyle T — 27 May 2012
Oh my God, and here I was thinking genuine, funny exploitation films were something of the past, left in the 70's. But you know what, this is proof that the exploitation film is far from dead. Oh my God, I just don't know where to begin.
I could start with the premise. A Jewish crime fighter who joins the Jewish Justice League with assistance from the Kwanzaa Liberation Front to combat the tyrannical, anti-Semitic, all-around racist Santa Claus who aims to destroy Hanukkah.
And Oh sweet lord it's hilarious. It uses everything to its fullest extent and exploits everything. Of course it's offensive, but if you can deal with offensive humor and exploitation, you will find a genuinely hilarious movie that brings back everything about exploitation films.
Sometimes the movie can be inconsistent, but who cares? This movie is just really, really funny in every meaning of it. It feels a bit like an episode of South Park, to be honest. I really don't know what else to say really.
It's offensively drop-dead hilarious, and it really feels like a fantastic comedic exploitation film. It's on Netflix Instant Streaming, so give it a shot if you're in for this sort of movie.
