Chautauqua Cinema: Bad Shabbos

An engaged interfaith couple are about to have their parents meet for the first time over a Shabbat dinner when an accidental death gets in the way, in director Daniel Robbins situational comedy. “A strong ensemble cast nails the tasty dialogue and increasingly frantic action without falling into shtick.” -Alissa Simon, Variety “Neither too “oy vey” nor “Weekend at Bernie’s” but steeped in the best aspects of both Jewish and black comedy, “Bad Shabbos” is a treat any night of the week.” -Bob Strauss, San Francisco Chronicle (NR, 84m)
