Editorial Reviews

United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (2.35:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: As Suzie Gold's sister prepares to get married, it seems only natural that Suzie's thoughts should turn to the state of her own love life. While her doting but dysfunctional family desperately want her to be happy - preferably by finding a good Jewish boy to settle down with - Suzie meets Darren, a boy from work and they start a heady romance. But the relationship sours when Suzie finds herself unable to bring him home, worried that he won't match up to her family's exacting (double) standards. Heartbroken, Suzie begins to question her role in life. She meets Antony Silver, who is, perfect husband/son-in-law material who quickly assumes, as does her family, that she will marry him. While the pressure builds for her to tie the knot, Suzie is forced to decide what she really wants out of her life - whether to follow the path laid out for her, or to make her own way through uncharted territory. ...Suzie Gold (UK)

5.0 out of 5 stars Suzie Gold- British Chicken Soup for the Heart, September 17, 2006

This review is from: Suzie Gold [Region 2] (DVD)

I saw this movie while on vacation in London this summer. It was absolutely adorable! Reminiscent of Crossing Delancey meets Goodbye Columbus, British style. I so wanted to bring a copy home to share with my family and friends but Uk DVD's aren't compatible with American DVD players. Hopefully, soon. Can't wait to see it again.

1.0 out of 5 stars MY BIG FAT KOSHER WEDDING, July 12, 2010

By 

Paco Calderón (Mexico City, Mexico) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Suzie Gold [Region 2] (DVD)

Girl meets goy, but has problems introducing him to her obnoxious ethnic family. Sounds familiar? It is! It's the Nia Vardalos formula with the laughs extracted with forceps!

Every cartoonish Jew there is in movies appears here in its most unpleasant typecast. The scheming/screaming mom, the tacky princess, the slimy groom, the bickering old couple, the niggardly miser married to the bejeweled fat lady with the hooked nose, you name it. Surely, the plot revolves around Suzie becoming her own woman and choosing the man she loves, much to the chagrin of her reluctant parents. Predictably, she choses Love over Faith, but the way Judaism is depicted makes you wonder what took her so long. The movie sways all too often between merciless satire and downright bigotry, up to a point where one has to wear an armband in black uniform to find it amusing -let alone poignant. For a much better movie on the same subject, try watching LEON THE PIG FARMER; that is if you can find it.

P.S.: One of the most annoying clichés in movies is the background chord to denote the ethnicity of a character whenever it appears onscreen. Asians get tubular bells, Irishmen get the pipes, Spaniards (even Mexicans!) get Andalusian guitars, and Jews, a clarinet tune. In this movie there is not one single Jewish scene without one. Enough already; point taken!
