Hanukkah on Rye (2022)
What Yiddish?
20 December 2022 - 4 out of 6 users found this review helpful.
Cute movie, but the closed captions describe them singing the Hanukkah blessing in Yiddish. I'm not even Jewish and I know it's Hebrew. Is there anyway to fix that?
The direction is leadfooted, but this is a Hallmark movie, after all. It has about what you expect for snappy dialogue, too.
I was trying to avoid having to see how weak this movie really is but I am told that I have not written enough words. So, it's lighthearted and gentle and all that, and after all it is a Hallmark movie, but come on folks- how about some real dialogue? Like the sort of words that people actually speak.
Just a couple of winking allusions to a not really very important Jewish holiday doesn't cut it. I think I'm gonna go back and take off another couple stars.
