Menorah in the Middle

Enjoyed this movie so much! Cute light hearted film for the family highly recommended! Sarah Silverman especially added a nice sense of comedy. The movie highlights the truth about how hospitals destroy small business in America, and shines light on this tragic issue. My heart sincerely goes out to anyone experiencing this. Love seeing all the Jewish geography and how it ended up saving the day. Grab your family and some latkes and sit tight for 1:27.5 minutes because your in for a delightful Chanukah treat!

P. S. Sarah Silverman if you are reading this at night before bed please don't drink water after 7:00. Thank you!

After watching some awful Hannukah movies, the bar was low but this movie far outpaced those and even most Christmas hallmark movies I've seen! It matches the campy feel-good vibes you'd expect from any hallmark-esque film while also feeling authentically Jewish! With a focus on Jewish values (l'dor v'dor- family and generational traditions) as well as a fantastic Jewish cast, I felt right at home watching it! If you are looking for a feel good watch for this Hannukah season I cannot recommend anything higher!

The comedy is cheesy and the story isn't so deep but that's what a holiday movie is for! The reviews marking this low don't seem to understand what they were going for here. This is a masterpiece of classic hallmark charm. Grab some schnapps and some sufganyot and enjoy!

I couldn't get past the disgusting attitude of that that greasy faced ding dong with muscles to find him remotely funny!

The way he was just so ignorant to everything related to the customs, and his possessiveness over his fiancé, absolutely unwatchable!

It really all comes down to the writing, it's like out of nowhere he was rude to the "boy next door". It was infuriating during that scene when he decided he called the shots for the family business!

This isn't a run of the mill feel good holiday film. I tried my best to ignore the dimwit (and the random guy with the guitar) and watch everything else. This is NOT on my rewatch list!

Although the Menorah in the Middle is an old, clichéd Hallmark movie featuring a portrait of Hanukkah and Jewish customs, this one is really brilliant, particularly in its casting. The leading pair makes a perfect couple, despite they are appearing more like an elder sister and brother. And the storyline was great! Even the slow-paced bore scenes were enjoyable throughout the film , and I found myself fully immersed in the scenes which lacked emotions in it. The actors appears to be miscasting, but it was well covered with their poor efforts to show that there is something in this movie which no one can understand.

This is a hallmark Chanukah movie written by goyim who are taking their best guess. I am so unsettled and just straight flummoxed. I am Jewish and have a sinking feeling I am their intended audience. I'm from a Jewish area on Long Island where we went to summer camp. Other than that I am astonished at how un-Jewish this movie is, so much so that I can only assume Hulu had to step in to dial down the Judaism like NBC did with Seinfeld. There would be no emotional or heartwarming moments. There was such an absence of humor that it felt like a death. No one was fighting. The sanitizing of Jewish life is almost insulting but there are luckily great movies that get it right.. watch Wet Hot American Summer or Uncut Gems or Curb Your Enthusiasm instead.
