When Do We Eat? Reviews:
When Do We Eat 
2009-05-10 - When I saw this DVD online I purchased it thinking that it sounded like a great plot line, had wonderful actors, and that it should be great entertainment. It is not. The movie itself is painfully slow and equally painful to watch. The plot line sounds good, but it never develops into an entertaining action line. Additionally, the technical quality is poor and the format is an incredibly annoying small, narrow screen. There are a few moments here and there (which is why I gave it 2 stars as opposed to 1), but nothing compelling enough to make it worth your money or your time. You'll regret it if you purchase this one. Pass it by.
Dude, this is a great movie 
2009-04-08 - Many people will find this movie to be too "West Coast dysfunctional". Many of the jokes are based on worn out Jewish stereotypes which some viewers may find offensive. But remember, it is a movie about a disastrous Passover Seder. This wacky movie takes all the dysfunction found in a whole community of families, and puts them all together in one family. From incest, drug abuse, and adultery, to more complex themes of generational communication, there is something for everyone in this movie. It is a haunting movie that I wasn't sure I liked at first, but found myself thinking about it days later. I watched it a second time and will probably have to watch it a third or forth time to finally get it out of my system. The movie is simple and stereotypical sophomoric humor on one level, and deep philosophical truths on another level. This movie may not be for you, but for some of us out there, this is a jewel.
A Great Comedy about Family,Holidays, and Tradition. 
2009-03-19 - This has a universal message for all families no matter what your traditions may be. This is an entertaining look into one Jewish family's attempt to keep tradition in a challenging and changing world. It has a very satisfying ending. Also interesting extras such as a discussion about the American artist Arthur Szyk and The Haggadah.
This is a delightful movie that is fun to watch again and again.
Jewish comedy and music
2008-09-24 - The movie can be hysterically funny for the Jewish viewer. The music is wonderful. Our chavurah loved it. It also offers some veiled innuendos of Kabbalah. Everything that could go wrong at a seder, in a very exaggerated way, with a highly disfunctional family, is effectively resolved in the end. It is a feel-good movie.
Not family viewing
2008-01-07 - This film has content that makes it suitable only for those aged over 16 or so. It is not what I would call a "family movie".
