To me, this movie is perfection.
Just perfect...
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Going in, I wrongly assumed "When Do We Eat? " to be a comedy. Unfoftunately there were zero laughs to be had, similar to "Eulogy", another failed family gathering film. Simply presenting a dysfunctional family of "surprise lesbians", a druggie son, a sex therapist daughter, a fake autistic, a one eyed lover, a Rabbi in training, and a grandfather who carries a suitcase wherever he goes, does not constitute comedy. If you want to see two good dysfunctional family comedies, check out "The Royal Tennenbaums" and "Flirting With Disaster", but skip this one for sure .......................................................... - MERK
When Do We Eat is a laugh-out-loud, brilliant blend of emotions displayed delightfully by the range of characters in a dysfunctional, slightly mixed up family at their Passover festive Sedar. The turn of events at the ending of the film lets us realize that the entire episode was one massive moment of grace. Thank you writers and producers for this totally enjoyable movie. The choice of characters matches so very well the various types found in a modern family searching for its roots, each member going a very separate path, all overlap at this time of the Passover holiday when tradition brings the diverse members of the family to a single table. Every viewer will find in this film moments of truth the hit home, but that do so in a very friendly way.
Really. This is a gem of a movie. Don't be fooled by the naysayers here. If you want to laugh and have a good time, go and see this film. Don't let the overly sensitive overly critical 'can't ever have a good time at the movies' crowd deter you from seeing this. Even most of the so-called professional movie critics don't get it right. What counts in the end is what the majority of film goers think. And with a 7.1 out of 10 rating (at this juncture) here at IMDb, you get the idea.A great ensemble cast...some great effects scenes...some great music...and a 'good to see him' appearance by Jack Klugman. Don't miss it!
'When Do We Eat?' has what all the great comedy films have, at least in my opinion...a great ensemble cast. That's what really works in great situation comedy, be it a theatrical film or in television. You can visit the When Do We Eat web site for a great trailer, so I won't go into the details or premise of the film, as I'm sure many others here have. Suffice to say, if you want great laughs, and a 'go away feeling good' film go and see When Do We Eat. Oh (minor spoiler), loved the 'halucination' scenes and oh yeah great sound track! As I think someone else said, it was good to see 'ol Jack Klugman gravely voice and all. He still has it!
