Suzie Gold contains some of the most ingrained stereotypes that exist about Jews. The movie is the definition of trite. In addition, although I know that some of the scenes are based on real life, they were strung together to create what was not even a half challenging examination of the issues of the movie. If you want to see a film which is schlock and full of worn clichés this is the one. As I left the cinema about ten other Jews who had also had the misfortune to see it were complaining about the two-dimensional film. I would have scored it a 0 but was not offered the option. If you want to see a film which promotes Jewish values and examines dilemmas in the Jewish religion, then see The Chosen. If you want to see a film about the Holocaust see Schindler's List or The Pianist. If you want to see a film which trivialises Judaism, the Jewish community, Jewish Culture and intermarriage, then by all means see Suzie Gold. You might want to have a lobotomy first.
