To be up front I'm not Jewish or even religious. But for some unknown reason I'm attracted to films about the Jewish experience. "Hanukkah on Rye" is a good one. Unlike a lot of Hallmark films, you're not going to see the same old actors that do them over and over. So unique actors and a unique story make for a charming film. Yes, it's a love story but the two main characters are introduced by a traditional matchmaker (letters only). And the older actors do an excellent job. They feel like a real family. Unfortunately the six hundred character requirement for reviews is somewhat too long for me. There.
