This is my first IMDb review. Felt compelled to write one as after attending the World Premiere at the Newport Film Festival last week I wanted to be able to tell the world how wonderful a comedy I felt this was. I'm Jewish so perhaps the movie was funnier to me but from the response of everyone around me it seemed that I was in the vast majority.
The story is essentially a romantic family comedy that I'd imagine will be rated R. It revolves around Adam (played by the wonderfully funny Joel David Moore) and his best friend from childhood Chris (Ivan Sergei). Chris convinces Adam to help him pass himself off as a Jew to win the heart of the Jewish girl he's in love with Allison. (Jennifer Love Hewitt... who is stunningly beautiful in the movie).
All sorts of insanity entails... from Adam's fiancé wanting plastic surgery (I won't spoil it), to him freaking out at his wedding rehearsal... to Chris poisoning the Rabbi to con the mother of Allison. Needless to say while the plot was a bit thin, I laughed myself into a coma. Tears laughing.
Here's hoping that Jewtopia will make it's way into theaters around the world. Would be a proud day for us a Jews and my hunch is that audiences of all cultures and religions will find something to laugh at and see themselves and their families in this film.
