Saturday Night I went with the Bro, his wife, friends S and A to the Mizel Center Jewish Film Festival and saw When Do We Eat, which was actually very very funny, and not just because of the content but because of the two weird ladies sitting behind us.

One of the ladies was annoyed that the Bro's wife sat next to her and the other lady kept kicking the back of my head. At one point I actually grabbed her teva and warm up socks and gave her a little squeeze. It was kinda funny.

I have a great fondness for Jack Klugman so his appearance in this movie for me was such an incredible treat.

I went back for the discussion about the movie afterwards and am really sorry now that I didn't ask about the concept of Survivor Guilt that was touched on in the movie, I think its just such a part of so many of our lives and seeing it touched on was really nice. But I learned quite alot listening to the audience members ask questions after only because they seemed to harp on Lionel and his turn in the film. Seriously... I saw it coming. Its ok. It was funny and touching. Each character was. But I would have said... More Jack Klugman... but that is sooooo me.

In the after movie discussion, the guy sitting down the row, next to me was a complete pig and made a comment about "hot chicks" and why weren't there any left in the theater... and I swear probably made an adjustment to his danglies. I shot him a look but like the foot in the back of my head lady didn't give a hoot. I should have moved down to the lower part of the theater where the seemingly more interested people were.

That being said, the movie is very funny and I guess (from what the director/writer guy said) the distribution print is slightly different than the festival print. I will definately go and see it again, only because there were so many things I am sure that I missed, that now will seem much funnier and poignoint and silly and fractal. Amusing. Go and see it when it opens around Pesach in your town, I don't think you will be disapointed. It brings the Arthur Szyk Haggadah in part come to life and the set designers get a huge hazzah to making it happen from the tapestry on the wall to the seder surroundings. Visually (outside of the hallucinations of Dad) the movie was beautiful. And the chaos of that family will definately make everyone with a big family or even a seder of more than five people will appreciate the individual cliche's (but not in a bad way, just a lack of better word) of each character. And I didn't hate Lesley Anne Warren as much as I always seem to, which kudos to that director because honestly I always do.

Seriously, and I don't harp on much in a "you need to do this" but really "you need to do this".... go and see this very funny movie when it opens in your 'hood. I think you won't be dissappointed.

And to the guy at the bottom of the theater...sorry I stepped on your foot when I cut through your row because everyone was on the other side and didn't tell me they were headed that way. I should have apologized right then, but instead, you were cute and I needed to just not make an even bigger ass out of myself so I didn't. So... officially... sorry I stepped on you.
