A ★½ review of Bad Shabbos (2024)
They should have called it very bad Shabbos I was actually looking forward to seeing this movie and maybe because of my expectations, it failed miserably. When the boyfriend of the daughter in a family of religious Jews dies accidentally and the non-Jewish parents of the fiancée of yet another child show up for Shabbos dinner, hilarity is supposed to ensue. But it doesn’t. What follows is a mishmash of jokes about Jews and their rituals and behaviors that, quite frankly, as a Jew I found offensive and if you know anything about me I make fun of my tribe
