Oy vey doesn't begin to address the result. Go to Full Review Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times 01/17/2013
2/5
The road to the inevitable slapsticky Seder is paved with more sweetness than bite, a good deal of frantic foolishness and progressively thinner laughs, all wrapped in a message of acceptance and inclusiveness. Go to Full Review Kyle Smith New York Post 01/11/2013
1/4
Among gay Jewish French postman movies, "Let My People Go!" may be a Hall of Fame entry, but alas, by any other standard this would-be sex comedy is a dismal failure. Go to Full Review Jack Fleischer Battleship Pretension 03/22/2021
When it comes down to it, this movie is a lot like a cat video. It's cute, and I stay involved in order to have the satisfaction of resolution. Other than that, there isn't a plot or character I feel I can relate to. Go to Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row 08/06/2019
2.5/4
It's a bit too broad at times, and the outrageousness of the stereotypes are often so over the top as to be silly rather than truly funny, but there's a certain charm about it that is hard to resist. Go to Full Review Peter Keough Boston Phoenix 02/28/2013
1.5/4
Though the film alludes repeatedly to the story of Exodus, it remains bound to hysterical stereotypes and hyperbolic plotting. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
