You Want I Should Do Movie Review?
Last night a few friends and I went for the midnight showing of The Hebrew Hammer as part of the Seattle International Film Festival. It was kind of like a Hasidic Shaft (complete with theme song). The Hammer is a private detective hired to save Hanukkah from the evil Andy Dick. I didn't realize how many Yiddish words I had picked up in my childhood from watching Mel Brooks movies.
The movie was funny and stupid. I recommend it to anyone who's Jewish, has Jewish friends, or thinks Jon Lovitz was the best part of SNL (alas, he wasn't in the movie).
Hopefully this won't be the last SIFF film I see, even if I have to schlep myself all the way across town to see another one.
