I honestly did not know what to expect, The Cast was terrific, the story was terrific and I was belly laughing constantly. I could identify with the family and the movie was quite entertaining and it had me at hello. The comedies today are not that funny, no jokes and you can see the punchlines from a mile away, Bad Shabbos seemed real, as I watched the movie I felt as if I knew the characters personally. That is about all i have to say other than I loved this movie, I hope it wins an Oscar and I have to write another 101 characters or this review will not be printed. The concept of 25 hours of powering down goes back 3500 years but it is very novel to these times. Shabbat Shalom.

I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Bad Shabbos last night! What a delightful comedy! The ensemble cast is extremely talented. The humor in this movie can be appreciated by everyone. It transverses all religions and ethnicities. You only need to have a family to be able to relate. An additional treat to the evening, was getting to meet the director of this outstanding movie, Daniel Robbins. He's incredibly charming and humble! I don't think he realizes how gifted he is! He's quite approachable, warm and grateful for the positive response to his work. It is so promising to see a director of his caliber emerging. I will be on board to see all of his future movies.

This film is a must see! A perfect ensemble cast film that flows seamlessly. All of the actors are top notch and compliment each other perfectly. No one steals the show but Method Man has some great scene stealers. Kyra Sedgwick was the perfect ying to David Paymer's Yang. Milana Vayntrub is on her way to stardom after this film. She is so funny.

The directing is perfect. Very much has a Mike Nichols/woody Allen feel. An amazing well written script and screenplay. This is a perfect movie for an audience viewing. The audience at Tribeca laughed out loud non-stop. It is also a great story about family and what it means to be family. Considering all the other movies out there, this has to rank as one of the best comedies to come out in years!

Best family movie ever; very, very funny, and heart warming, about a family that stays together and loves each and protects each other no matter what; all inclusive movie showing all faiths having fun together and supporting each other; strongly recommend from teenagers to grandparents; Well written and beautifully directed by a rising star; Great cast. The movie is about a prank that went terribly wrong, with lots of laugh out loud moments, and fall out of your chair hysterical shockingly humorous situations; Some amazing new and seasoned acting veterans round out an incredible cast with a mensch of a director.

Not good - miss represented Jewish culture. Especially in these times - this movies should not be on the movies.

While acting, and there were some specific moments that were funny, the content of this movie is damaging and hurtful in several ways. In particular with the context we are living today.

I would strongly encourage to revisit the screening of this movie. And I would suggest put it on hold immediately.

For those who are considering watching this movie. I think you should not support this screening.

Please make an effort to avoid spreading the viewing of this movie

Thank you and hope this was helpful.
