It borders on painful to see this cast go through the motions of this uninspired script.

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.
04/20/06
even with all the strange impractical goings on, as with all in this recent string of popular entertainment culled from authentic orthodoxy, there are moments of sheer breathtaking joy that elevate the spirit of a Jew by speaking to their core.
08/16/06
The movie's most distinctive feature is its cast, which has the fake lived-in comfort of a TV clan.
04/21/06
[Director] Litvak crams so many earth-shattering revelations and long-buried resentments into 93 minutes that the film feels as if it's struggling to provide something recognizable to every potential ticket buyer.

Watching this movie is kind of like being sprayed with emotional vomit.

Unfunny Semitic caricatures. Even worse than 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding.'

... worth a look.

Crass, chaotic comedy.

A cute little Matzoh of a movie.

We're basically left with a wild-eyed group of actors who probably had a lot more fun shooting When Do We Eat? than they did watching it.

If this is someone's idea of dinner and a movie, you might as well skip the movie.
04/07/06
Oh, what a distasteful film.
04/24/06
There's something very sweet and real beneath all the bluster, braggadocio, disgust and denial, pushing through as improbably and miraculously as Moses through the Red Sea.
02/06/07
Eat soaks up the passions, disagreements, and love the Seder inspires, with the writers capturing the utter chaos of a full dinner table.
03/22/06
Manages to be broad, mawkish and mean-spirited all at once.
05/05/06
Not recomended for the Goyim.
04/11/06
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.

Top CriticIts strong cast is loud and lively, and the bickering banter has snap and drive.
