Happy Times

I can't believe no one thought to make this movie before. If you've ever spent a holiday wiht a bunch of drunk, nasty relatives you'll find this so funny. No doubt. Don't watch if you are easily offended because they poke fun at a lot of Jewish traditions and beliefs. Perfect movie for the holidays... I'm sure you've seen this type of movie where family and friends gather around the dinner table and things don't go as planned. Well, in this case things really get out of control and guests start dropping like flies in creative and comical ways. But don't get fooled, it's gets pretty violent and bloody. Highly recommended.

Purchased and watched on Prime Video. It's not available on Vudu or Fandango..

If I understand correctly, this is an Israeli film about a family of Israeli-Americans living in Los Angeles. The language is mostly Hebrew w/ a smattering of English.

This is a lot like All Of My Friends Are Dead (Netflix) except instead of young 20-somethings, the people at this holiday dinner party are in their 30's and 40's. And this one is far more linear.

Once things go off the rails, everything continues to escalate.

This was a good time.

Don't take it too seriously. Got a good mix of comedy and violence with some hilarious moments and good actors. Wait for the rabbi.

In HAPPY TIMES, a family dinner party turns into a melee of violence and bloodshed, when an argument gets a bit out of control. Soon, everything melts down, and the real, gory fun begins. Let's just say that everyone's true feelings and motivations come out, and it's not a pretty picture!

If you enjoy horror-comedies that aren't just a new twist on an old theme, then you'll probably love this one. Also, if you've ever suffered through those uncomfortable family get-togethers, where someone has a few too many, or, for whatever reason, starts spouting embarrassing things, then this movie should definitely tickle your funny bone!

Director Michael Mayer has created a fine satire, using a Jewish gathering to bring out the hidden, personal demons for a good roasting. This is a no-holds-barred lampooning, so strap yourself in. Not even the Rabbi is safe!...

It was my first time watching a movie in Hebrew and it was hilarious! Not a dull moment 😆

If you enjoy dark comedy and foreign films, I highly recommend this movie. It goes by fast and you won't get bored. It's an easy watch too.
