When Do We Eat? Reviews
Litvak's movie almost immediately barges across the line separating the comically absurd from the outright obnoxious.
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 5, 2006
Manages to be broad, mawkish and mean-spirited all at once.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 5, 2006
A haunting and disturbing film.
| Original Score: 3/4 | May 4, 2006
This abrasive Passover comedy-drama is extremely difficult to sit through, and if its makers weren't all Jewish, it would be considered anti-Semitic.

... worth a look.
| Original Score: B | Apr 28, 2006
Oh, what a distasteful film.
Full Review | Apr 24, 2006
Its strong cast is loud and lively, and the bickering banter has snap and drive.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 21, 2006
A cute little Matzoh of a movie.
| Original Score: C+ | Apr 21, 2006
Crass, chaotic comedy.

The movie's most distinctive feature is its cast, which has the fake lived-in comfort of a 온라인카지노추천 clan.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 21, 2006
It borders on painful to see this cast go through the motions of this uninspired script.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 20, 2006
Watching this movie is kind of like being sprayed with emotional vomit.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 20, 2006
But even the film's seeming singularity proves deceptive once it becomes apparent that When Do We Eat? is less a Passover movie than a Thanksgiving or Christmas movie dolled up in Jewish drag.
| Original Score: C- | Apr 20, 2006
Even Jewish audiences will be hard-pressed to find something to enjoy in this highly stagy, claustrophobic depiction of a Seder populated by one wacky family that seems to include every stereotype in the book.

Another entry in indiedom's contest to create the most dysfunctional family.
| Apr 17, 2006
In this distasteful film from Salvador Litvak, a Jewish family tries to race through a Seder, but drug use, possible incest and some jokes at the expense of the autistic slow them down.

Cliches and loud stereotypes as fresh as year-old matzoh infest When Do We Eat?, a farce about a wildly dysfunctional Los Angeles family's disastrous Passover Seder.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 7, 2006
A self-consciously zany dysfunctional family comedy, When Do We Eat? strains so hard to be outrageous that it sacrifices characters for caricatures. They might have had something if they'd let everybody relax, be themselves and enjoy dinner.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 7, 2006
When Do We Eat? isn't a great film or, necessarily, a particularly good one, but it's a worthy attempt at making an entertaining movie about faith.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 7, 2006
Making The Family Stone's shenanigans and schmaltz seem downright sophisticated by comparison, Salvador Litvak's Passover-themed film gives Jews an insufferable holiday family comedy to call their own.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 9, 2006
