The remarkable artistry in character development has been robbed from viewers of this movie by what is absolutely the worst DVD quality I have ever seen. It looks as though it has been created from a poor VHS copy, with the line structure actually encoded onto the DVD. Whatever I write will not prepare you for the visual horror that awaits the hapless buyer.

This is an exquisite movie -- funny, heartwarming, and truthful. I saw it at the Jewish Movie Festival in San Francisco 4 years ago and have been looking to own it ever since. Hurray! Now I can.

Despite the Jewish flavor, those who are not Jewish will appreciate the humor and humanness of the movie. We have all been there! The extent to which we will go to create the illusion of doing well in order to please friends and family is amazing and what we learn in the process is universal. This is that story told in a way that makes you laugh and cry and glow afterwards.

The content is great! I can see Argentinians away from home appreciating the movie just by its images. Although the richness of the images cannot be very well appreciated because the subtitles cannot be turned off. I would not recommend this movie to any Argentinian who's feeling home sick, I will make things worse. Anyway, I guess we can consider ourselves lucky for the release of the movie on DVD format. I hope that this is a growing trend and that more foreing movies like this one will become available to the US of A.
