A darkly hilarious film with a warm heart, Bad Shabbos is a charmingly modern screwball comedy, starring Kyra Sedgwick, Method Man, David Paymer, and Catherine Curtin.
Every family has its tensions. But not every family has a dead body in the half bath off the kitchen. As this raucous ensemble comedy opens, engaged couple David and Meg are on their way to a Shabbat dinner with his family. But this isn’t a typical family gathering. Tonight, they’ll be joined by Meg’s Catholic parents, traveling all the way to New York City from Wisconsin to meet their future in-laws. Pre-dinner cocktails, intended to take the edge off everyone’s nerves, instead trigger a childish prank with unintended consequences. Scrambling to present a sense of normalcy for their Midwestern guests, the family goes from faithfully observing traditions to creatively exploiting them, and creating a few new ones of their own.
Outstanding performances from an all-star cast who play up the family antics, this film’s rapid fire dialogue, a twisty script, and masterful editing drive this Upper West Side escapade’s chaotic momentum.
