DVD Reviews of The Hebrew Hammer
DVD Review: If Mel Brooks and Keenan Ivory Wayans had a kid, It would be the Hebrew Hammer
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a hysterically funny movie any time of the year but is especially funny during the holiday season (much like Office Space is funny, but even funnier if you work in an office). I could not stop laughing and busting a gut for the whole duration the first time I saw it. And that was when Comedy Central censored it. When they re-broadcast it the next year, they did so after midnight and left everything in. I laughed even harder.
Following in the footsteps of Brooks, Wayans and the Zucker brothers, NO STEREOTYPE was left unused. If you are woefully politically correct or your liberal tendencies will not allow you to laugh at anything marginally offensive, this is not for you.
But for those of you with a sense of humor... You'll love it.
DVD Review: Sexy Jew Does Them All
Summary: 4 Stars
It is funny parody on the western in a modern NYC environment, produced from a Jewish viewpoint.
Sexy and entertaining stuff is hard not to like-and You Don't Mess With the Zohan (Unrated Two-Disc Edition) is most recent update on a similar topic.
DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't understand people who were offended by this. They're ripping on people who are prejudice, it's quite obvious. Have you ever seen South Park? It's exactly like that. I personally find the movie very amusing. If you're offended, turn it off!DVD Review: Just plain zany!
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie was just fun. If you are looking for straight, typical comedy, this is not for you. But if you can enjoy a zany, tongue-in-cheek story line that is just good for some great laughs, you will enjoy this. Also, if you come from a Jewish background, some of the references will be especially appreciated. I think that Shaft would have really liked this lead character.DVD Review: Jewish Humor
Summary: 3 Stars
I did not watch this myself but purchased it for a relative who loved it and watches it repeatedly. Good cultural humor - fun and a bit obscure.
Description of The Hebrew Hammer
THE HEBREW HAMMER stars Adam Goldberg in the title role of this holiday farce as a handsome Orthodox stud and man of action who is called upon to save Hanukkah. When Santa Claus' evil son Damian (Dick) is pushed over the edge by his father's liberal policies, he murders the Christian patriarch and, stepping into the vacated role, launches a nefarious worldwide campaign to eradicate the Jewish Holiday. The Hammer joins forces with Esther (Greer), the gorgeous daughter of the chief of the Jewish Justice League to topple Damian and save Hanukkah for future generations.A cross between a Kosher Shaft and Airplane!'s shameless gag machine, The Hebrew Hammer is an unabashed burlesque about a streetwise Jewish private detective (a "circumcised dick" in his own parlance) named Mordechai Jefferson Carver (Adam Goldberg). Once ostracized by Gentile children, Mordechai has become a much-feared defender of Jews, so extreme that even the militant Jewish Justice League tosses him out. Until, that is, JJL leader Chief Bloomenbergansteinhal (Peter Coyote) and his lovely daughter Esther (Judy Greer) recruit him to take on the wicked Damien (Andy Dick), a snippy anti-Semite who murders Santa Claus in order to turn Christmas into a Jew-hating holiday. Written and directed by Jonathan Kesselman, this sporadically funny feature is based on a funkier short (included on this DVD) of the same name. The cast is better than the generally obvious material, and Nora Dunn (as Mordechai's mother) and Mario Van Peebles are very good in supporting roles. --Tom Keogh
