LOVED IT! Comedy,pathos, accuracy, wonderful shtick, GREAT soundtrack–as we say in “the business”– a hearty “yasher koach!”

Saw the movie today. I was the only person in the theatre. What utter crap. Horrible characters, idiotic script and ridiculous story. Felt sorry for Klugman.

Saw it last night and LOVED it. And Esther, you were quite right that “Zeke” appeals to the David-Krumholtz-smitten. Sal & Nina, I will tell everyone I know to go see this movie!

Jsirpicco, thanks for the love! The characters’ ages correspond to my family – my mother was born in Hungary 1944. Her mother carried her through the Terezin concentration camp, one of the 100 children who survived. Her father was killed.

Artur is 90. The murdered children were 9, 5 and 3. Ira was one – that’s a miracle akin to Moses’ birth, in the sense of the following midrash: Moses’ parents had divorced because Amram didn’t want to bear a son and have him drowned by Pharaoh’s decree, thus he would not cohabit with Yochevet.

Their daughter, Miriam said, “Pharaoh murders the boys, but you kill the girls as well.” Amram then remarried Yochevet.

The child brought about a transformation in the family that resulted in a miracle of hope, a new child. In this case, Moses, but for a husband and wife to have a child in Hungary in 1944 was also a miracle, one of not losing hope, from which my mother was born.

Ira is 62, Jennifer is 33, Ethan is 26, Nikki is 24, Zeke is 17, Lionel is 13.

We knew it would be unusual to address the Holocaust within a comedy, but the juxtaposition of tragedy and comedy is the most Yiddische of all customs.

Just stand on the food line at a funeral. Some uncle will tell a knee-slapper, and the laughing widow will thank him.

Thanks for all the excitement about Eat! Little movies need big support. We’ve put all our heart and all our soul and all our resources into this film and we need the communities in NY, LA and South Florida to come out on the opening weekend of April 7 (not on Shabbes, of course – Friday matinee or Saturday night would be fine) so that the movie can reach the rest of the country!
