I honestly did not know what to expect, The Cast was terrific, the story was terrific and I was belly laughing constantly. I could identify with the family and the movie was quite entertaining and it had me at hello. The comedies today are not that funny, no jokes and you can see the punchlines from a mile away, Bad Shabbos seemed real, as I watched the movie I felt as if I knew the characters personally. That is about all i have to say other than I loved this movie, I hope it wins an Oscar and I have to write another 101 characters or this review will not be printed. The concept of 25 hours of powering down goes back 3500 years but it is very novel to these times. Shabbat Shalom.
A great new addition into the cannon of Jewish cinema. A silly and smart slice of hectic life in a Shabbos night.
Well written. The characters and plot really develop as the story it takes hold.
I would recommend this movie for sure. I think one of the redeeming qualities is how Judaism and connection to israel and ancient roots and community and family all intersected in the film in a time where the conversations sadly aren't as mainstream or supported. So refreshing to feel seen in the media like this now.
It feels like you're really good about dinner my friends and family of course with a crazy turn! Unexpected and quite delightful.
Will be remembered fondly.

Bad Shabbos has a plot that is so preposterous that it boggles the mind. Of course, if you are willing to check your brain at the door and accept this premise then this movie might be for you.
Of course, the acting is better than the dialogue that is written for these poor actors.
Be prepared for ridiculous, slapstick, and highly improbable events to happen.
I'm glad it was only an 80 minute film because it as difficult to sit through be he movie as it was.
I was so looking forward to some good laughs , but it just was not funny.
Why take a chance on liking a movie when you should enjoy your theater experience.

Do yourself a mitzvah and go see "Bad Sabbos"! This movie is pure comedy gold-sharp writing from Daniel Robbins & Zack Weiner, clean humor that actually lands, and joke after joke without a stale moment. The ensemble cast is so in sync they could be a well-rehearsed kugel recipe. Every scene is packed with laughs, clever dialogue, and just the right amount of absurdity to keep everyone entertained from start to finish. If you need a break from the daily schlep and want a feel-good comedy that actually delivers, this is the movie to see! Trust me, you won't regret it-your funny bone will thank you!
I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Bad Shabbos last night! What a delightful comedy! The ensemble cast is extremely talented. The humor in this movie can be appreciated by everyone. It transverses all religions and ethnicities. You only need to have a family to be able to relate. An additional treat to the evening, was getting to meet the director of this outstanding movie, Daniel Robbins. He's incredibly charming and humble! I don't think he realizes how gifted he is! He's quite approachable, warm and grateful for the positive response to his work. It is so promising to see a director of his caliber emerging. I will be on board to see all of his future movies.
