Preview offensive to Jews
When I watched the preview I died. All it did was stereotype rich Jews who put on lavish bar mitzvah parties. Why cant we see a movie about us that doesnt make Jews look like they are all into materialism and not into spirituality. I want to see a movie about a bar mitzvah boy who we see after his bar mitzvah grow spiritually and discover what it really means to live and be a Jew in a mostly Christian society.
I dont want to see the token intermarried couple. I dont want to see a movie potraying Jews as extremely secular without any knowledge of their own religion. For once I want to see a movie with Jews who know who they are, who are knowlegeble in their religion, and who arent some cookie cutter character that isnt satisfied with a meal at a resturaunt.
America is a melting pot of diversity. By showing secular Jews constantly on screen it encourages jews to be the same way. All this does is turn America's melting pot into a bland stew, where a Jew cant tell the difference between himself and a non Jew. All this movie is an equivalent of a black minstrel show where Jews are the ones being made fun of. Hollywood needs to get smart. To Jews everywhere: Ignore what Hollywood wants you to act and be like. Crack open the Torah and the Talmud if you dont know hebrew or aramaic order one in English. Just educate yourself.
