I'm fascinated by this film which I caught at the cinema back in the day.
Having thoroughly enjoyed it's joie de vivre I recommended it to a Jewish GP friend who having seen it spat vitriol about it back in my face.
It just seems to be one of those films that splits the audience down the middle and for no reason that I can clearly understand.
Some reviewers claim that only Jews would find it funny but I'm not Jewish and the response of said GP disproves that one.
I simply found it full of hilarious lines and situations, from the piling up of furniture in the bathroom to prevent an unpreventable entrance by the farmer and wife ( whose reactions to finding Leon in the bath are just perfectly understated) to the vegetarian half-brother's culinary ambitions to the telephone conversation about canasta and the discussion about sperm in the front parlour. All of these left me in stitches and still cause me to chuckle now whilst writing this review.
It just goes to show that no film will be perfect for everyone, as exemplified by my reaction to the GP's loan of his favourite film - 'Independence Day'. Now there's a pig of a film.

You don't need to be Jewish to get a laugh from this movie but a little understanding of the Jewish ways will be a definate advantage. My Jewish friends certainly got a laugh.
I enjoyed this movie so much I spent hours, days trying to get a copy. There's no swearing, no shooting, no fighting, no car chases and no drugs. Even my 12 year old son got a laugh. Enjoy.

I first saw this film at a cinema years ago and was tickled pink by it then. It is an innocent little film with a nice story line. To see Brian Glover playing the part of the pig farmer is a treat in itself.I would reccommend the film as an easy and enjoyable viewing.

Saw it when it first came out
Have not seen it but bought it as I had a relative on the production team. Nut it was a great shame a young talent like Mark died before he could continue his cinematic career.

This is an abominably poor film. It has the production values of a Turkey Twizzler. The script has all the charm and entertainment value of a budget speech by Gordon Brown. Read more
