    When you post your synopsis in bad English it does not reflect well on the movie. It also gives no idea what the movie is about. I just got back from seeing the movie, it is a world class comedy. Kudos to the writers/directors. Love all your work.

    Not funny. Not interesting. Just disappointing.

    I liked "Maktub", but I can't see how anyone can like this one. I went to see it in theater with my mother and my niece. All three of us were bored and disappointed. Asides from a few somewhat funny moments, it was mainly waiting for the time to pass. There was a break and we decided to leave the theater. I haven't done this in many years.

    Neo-burekas

    MECHILA follows the comical misadventures of a couple of thieves, reformed or at least semi-reformed, are trying to recover their stash of loot. One of the thieves is a bumbler, but when he makes a mistake it's always the other thief who suffers for it.

    This is a neo-burekas movie. It could have been made forty years ago with Yehuda Barkan and Gabi Amrani, but it would have had less explicit violence and a lot less respect for its female characters. Here, the women are included not as decorations but as contributors to the theme of "mechila"-- forgiveness-- and the theme does come across strongly from behind the comedy.
