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.

Reviews for When Do We Eat?
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.
10/25/06
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.

Litvak's movie almost immediately barges across the line separating the comically absurd from the outright obnoxious.
05/05/06
Thanks to a great cast and sharp writing, When Do We Eat? is a clever comedy with plenty of black humour and irreverence, all of which leads to contemplative thought.
05/05/06
Manages to be broad, mawkish and mean-spirited all at once.
05/05/06
A haunting and disturbing film.
05/04/06
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.
05/04/06
... worth a look.
04/28/06
Oh, what a distasteful film.
04/24/06
Its strong cast is loud and lively, and the bickering banter has snap and drive.
04/21/06
A cute little Matzoh of a movie.
04/21/06
Crass, chaotic comedy.
04/21/06
The movie's most distinctive feature is its cast, which has the fake lived-in comfort of a TV clan.
04/21/06
Despite the fact that the meal served is kosher, the recipe is so hammy that the movie proves pretty indigestible.
04/21/06
It borders on painful to see this cast go through the motions of this uninspired script.
04/20/06
Watching this movie is kind of like being sprayed with emotional vomit.
04/20/06
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.
