When Coming to USA?


Hi! Does anyone know when this will be coming to the USA? I live in Phoenix, AZ and would be very interested in seeing it. Maybe at the local Jewish film festival? If not in the USA soon, will it be coming to Mexico? I live very close & could drive perhaps if it came (good excuse to go!). Please let me know! Thanks!

PS I heard comments on BBC saying maybe some would be offended by the light comedy on such a heavy issue...but those who are familiar with both Israeli & Arab film know that humour & the bizarre is a key ingredient in many movies on such weighty issues! Bravo.

I just saw it yesterday in the California Bay Area. and it was hilarious. if you are getting a Jewish Film Festival in your area soon I would highly recommend it.

It looks like it's opening in Minneapolis in a few weeks. No word on an exact date but there is a press screening set up for Mid June.

the fact that you saw this movie in a jewish film festival is pretty disgusting. i hardly consider people jewish once they reach the point where theyre willing to disgrace themselves like that. the problem is, there are hardly any jews out there who really identify with their religion - theyre just jewish because they eat bagels and lox and their grandparents are from brookelyn. if jews arent really offended by this movie, then in my opinion, theyre not close enough to their religion. jews are too quick to laugh at themselves. you may say that this movie is a comedy and that i should lighten up, but i find the movie no more than offensive.

Then you are clearly an idiot.

Lighten up, for god's sake. And if you have a problem with it (and you're clearly in a minority, since it's been chosen in Jewish festivals around the world) then keep it to yourself.

Your comments that a Jew who would find this funny is clearly not Jewish enough makes you sound like a complete moron and quite clearly a fundamentalist. You're probably the type of person who would find "The Producers" offensive as well.

While there are people like you around, what hope is there....?

It's coming out on DVD on October 17th, 2006.

Yep. I HAD to pick it up. And to Mister Poopy pants up there, The movie is about a Jew and a Palestinian falling in love. Just because the content of the film offends you doesn't mean it doesn't belong in a Jewish Film Festival. Get over it. Everyone makes fun of themselves

I saw it today in Washington D.C at the Avalon theater. Its playing for a week.

If you live anywhere near Concord, CA, it's playing at the Jewish Film Festival again this year (Back by popular demand) I forget which day... I think late Feb. though
