this be possibly the bad movie since elizabeth taylor and richard burton grace the screen in the sandpiper . what a mess . it have a politically correct roundup masquerade a passover celebrant . you have your lesbian and her afro american lover while you have your hasid while you have your flighty mother while you have your wayward daughter while you have your handicap child while you have your holocaust survivor while and you have your bellowing businessman . you get the idea . jack klugman be the best thing in this movie but even he can not elevate the maudlin and pointless and toopid script . funny to see klugman in this piece of crap because i recall him in goodbye columbus and the movie version of philip roth novel and in which klugman play father to a luminous ali mcgraw . that movie make me uncomfortable and because it ring true . this be anything but true . when do we eat just make me cringe with embarrassment . the bad thing about this movie be that the filmmaker ( and i use that term very loosely in this case ) actually go art y at various time while attempt to equate 40 year in the desert and the passover saga with the journey of these execrable people . they should live so long .
