About the Film
Hot on the heels of its Tribeca Audience Award win, this darkly uproarious, star-studded comedy transforms a tense Upper West Side Shabbat dinner into an unhinged circus of chaos and calamity. David (Jon Bass) and his fiancée Meg (Meghan Leathers), who is converting to Judaism, invite her devout Midwestern Catholic parents to meet his outspoken, sharp-tongued Jewish family for the first time. Already fraught, the evening takes a disastrous turn when a guest suffers a suspicious mishap in the bathroom—a seemingly unlucky accident that spirals into a, frantic cover-up, pushing the dysfunctional household to its breaking point.
