Query: What's all the fuss?

A lot of words have been spilled out these review pages about the supposed esoteric nature of this film. Yes the protagonist is Jewish, and yes one does need to have an appreciation for droll humor, but if these are not obstacles to your viewing enjoyment, this is a straightforward, funny movie. The vast majority of viewers will easily relate to the problems that life brings into the protagonist's way. The ending does require an appreciation for the Jewish aversion to wrapping up something as complex as the human dilemma into a nice little package. The Christian worldview is intrincically more optimistic than that arising from diaspora Jewry. This last is no reason to not find humor, or interest, in the Jewish view of life; a view which does have some merit. (Author of this review is Gentile).
