spicedogs: (Michael Emerson on the Beach)

I  went to the movies on Saturday and I saw a great picture. It was made in Spain and is called Seres Queridos, or in English, Only Human. If you saw Borat, think of this movie as the cleaned up version. It was continuous laughter from the first 5minutes till the end.

 Here's a little synopsis:

 
Imagine a family, a Jewish family, a dysfunctional, but loving Jewish family. The family consists of 3 adult children, two females and one male. One of the females is a celebrity on TV. She is bringing her new fiancée to meet her family. She told her family that her fiancée was born in Jerusalem , which is not a lie, except that he is a Palestinian. Her brother is now a very observant orthodox Jew, who keeps a duck in the bidet. Her sister is a nymphomaniac belly dancer (single mother of a 7-year-old girl, who likes to pretend that she is pregnant), living with her parents. Grandpa lives with them, too. Grandpa was a prisoner in concentration camp, is now blind, and does not have all his marbles together. Through all this, the family loves each other, tries to accept each other, except that poor Rafi (the fiancée), while trying to help mom cook the soup for the night's dinner, I accidentally dropped it out of the window, hitting pedestrian on the head with it. This pedestrian resembles the dad--his future in-law. And believe it or not, it's laughter a minute.

If you get a chance, go see it.
