the ratings


The majority of the viewers gave this film or 1 or 10. What on Earth does it say about the film?..

It just means not enough people have seen it yet. Practically all films with less than a couple of hundred votes have a similar distribution. You get haters who haven't even seen the movie give it a 1 (in this case, probably anti-semitic motivations) and you get people who are connected to the movie giving it a 10.

Look at the 9 reviews for a better idea. All of the strongly positive reviews come from people who signed up on the day they posted the review, have never posted on a forum and if they posted any other reviews they did it on the same day too. All of the critical reviews come from people with a verifiable history on IMDB. When all of the positive reviews seem to be shills and all of negative reviews are from real people - that says the movie probably sucks. Based on that, I'm skipping it myself.

I enjoyed the movie but then I'm not Jewish. Maybe then I would be offended unless I had a sense of humor.

It says more about the people who voted, than it does about the movie.

The movie was simply heavy handed, with sloppy acting from otherwise decent actors. A miss.

Even this Columbia University spoof is much funnier and is only 4 minutes long.

It isn't the best film out there but I found it entertaining enough. I was reading my favorite news app while watching. I did focus on the movie most of the time. If it wasn't 1 in the morning when I was watching it I would have been doing laundry while watching.

Entertaining enough for a night in which you have trouble sleeping.

It means that all the people involved in the movie and the particular ethnic community featured in the movie rated it a maximum while all the gentiles who aren't part of the environment depicted in this movie couldn't be bothered to rate it more than a 1 because the ethnic in-jokes and narrow scope of the humor didn't appeal to them at all. Which just shows the limited appeal this movie's premise had.

It is more than 2 years since the original post here and now the majority of reviewers have given this a 1.

In the opening scene, a boy enters a high school class wearing a military uniform and a military backpack. This is done to emphasize that he grew up in a military family.

Then in less than 12 minutes, we see feces hurled (at a person by mistake) and sewage accidentally explode onto a couple of men. Soon after that is a discussion of vaginitis versus vaginosis. If you like that kind of humor (perhaps it is Jewish thing) then you might enjoy this. Obviously many of us consider it to be cheap humor. The movie probably would have done better without it.
