We saw this at the Jewish Film Festival in Sacramento a few years back but enjoyed again.
This zany comedy in Meet the Parents fashion is a cautionary tale of bringing home that special someone. Leni's family is a handful: there's her blind grandfather, the belly dancer sister with a 5-year-old daughter, the brother with a newfound relationship with religion, the pre-menopausal mother and the estranged father. Leni brings her fiancé, Rafi, to meet the family, but all chaos ensues when the Jewish clan discovers he's Palestinian.
Starring Oscar-nominated Norma Aleandro (GABY), this gloriously irreverent family comedy fuses brilliant characterization and unrelenting humor to rework the age-old story of meeting the parents with a hilarious modern twist. Directors: Dominic Harari and Teresa De Pelegrí Rated: R for some sexual content, nudity and language Runtime: 85 minutes. In Spanish with English subtitles
"A wacky, appealing Spanish comedy. Everyone whose families boast an excess of opinions will relate, no matter what their background." – Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
