5 out of 5 stars Puzzling dichotomy   May 8, 2008

I'm fascinated by this film which I caught at the cinema back in the day.br /Having thoroughly enjoyed it's joie de vivre I recommended it to a Jewish GP friend who having seen it spat vitriol about it back in my face.br /br /It just seems to be one of those films that splits the audience down the middle and for no reason that I can clearly understand.br /br /Some reviewers claim that only Jews would find it funny but I'm not Jewish and the response of said GP disproves that one.br /br /I simply found it full of hilarious lines and situations, from the piling up of furniture in the bathroom to prevent an unpreventable entrance by the farmer and wife ( who's reactions to finding Leon in the bath are just perfectly understated) to the vegetarian half-brother's culinary ambitions to the telephone conversation about canasta and the discussion about sperm in the front parlour. All of these left me in stitches and still cause me to chuckle now whilst writing this review.br /br /It just goes to show that no film will be perfect for everyone as exemplified by my reaction to the GP's loan of his favourite film - 'Independence Day'. Now there's a pig of a film.

This is an abominably poor film. It has the production values of a Turkey Twizzler. The script has all the charm and entertainment value of a budget speech by Gordon Brown. It's central features are billed as being sex, estate agents and pig farming. Personally, I wish that all the estate agents involved had been fed to starving pigs before getting a chance to make this film, along with the producers, directors and entire cast with the possible exception of Maryam D'arbo, who represents the pearl cast before these particular swine. I do have to make one major reservation to this review, which is that I am not Jewish. Since almost all the characters are Jewish, it may be that this film constitutes some sort of Michelin-starred amuse-bouche to the Jewish palate, in which case I apologise unreservedly for any offence caused.
