For Your Consideration

I was lucky enough to watch this in a theater full of people who understood jewish culture. I understood about a quarter of the yiddish references (being a quarter jewish myself), but quite often an obscure yiddish word would be thrown out in passing and groups of the audience would erupt into laughter.

The movie was funny, but I don't think it held a candle to Christopher Guests' previous work. There aren't any parts that I can say didn't work. It was all good, but not great. It was a short movie. Just under an hour and a half. It closed every aspect of the story that it opened, but still I left wishing to see at least one more act.
