Film Overview
Prepare for Shabbat shenanigans in this laugh-out-loud comedy from writer/director Daniel Robbins (“Citizen Weiner”), as a Jewish-Catholic couple attempt to introduce their parents to each other, only for a gruesome accident to gum up the works. Winner of the Tribeca 2024 Best Narrative Feature Audience Award.When two couples—Abby and Benjamin, and David and Meg (freshly converted to Judaism)—gather for a traditional Shabbat dinner, things spiral faster than you can say “hamotzi” when an accidental death (or…murder?) derails the evening entirely, and Meg’s devoutly Catholic parents are due any moment to meet David’s very Jewish family. Before you know it, Shabbat becomes a comedy of biblical proportions.
