Bad Shabbos

Dir. Daniel Robbins USA 84 min

2024 Dada Films

"Our team's first goal with Bad Shabbos was to make a film that authentically portrays my subculture—New York Jews. My family gathered for Shabbos dinner every Friday night and even on the more chaotic nights, there was an underlying warmth. Then our second, and perhaps main goal, was to take everything we love about the comedies of old and, like the characters in this film, try to adopt to modern times."

–Daniel Robbins, Director

David and his fiancée Meg are about to have their parents meet for the first time over a Shabbat dinner on New York’s Upper West Side when an accidental death (or murder?) gets in the way. With Meg's Catholic parents due any moment, this family dinner soon spirals into a hilarious disaster.

Reviews
"A strong ensemble cast nails the tasty dialogue and increasingly frantic action without falling into shtick." – Variety
