Product Description
As Suzie's sister prepares to get married, it seems only natural that Suzie's thoughts should turn to the state of her own love-life. While her doting but dysfunctional family desperately want her to be happy - preferably by finding a good Jewish boy to settle down with - Suzie meets Darren, a boy from work, and they start a heady romance. But the relationship sours when Suzie finds herself unable to bring him home, worried that he won't match up to her family's exacting (double) standards.
Heartborken, Suzie begins to question her role in life, and develops a need to break away from the family and traditions that have always defined her. But she is soon approached by perfect son-in-law material Anthony Silver (nice Jew, nice job, nice car) who quickly assumes, as does her family, that she will marry him. While the pressure builds for her to tie the knot, Suzie is forced to decide what she really wants out of life - and whether to follow the path laid out for her, or to make her own way through uncharted territory.

Customer Reviews
Summer Phoenix holds it together despite being neither English or Jewish. She has an on screen charm and her accent holds up pretty well, even if she is let down by the fairly ordinary plotline and script. Most of the others in the cast are competent but have little to work. Iddo Goldberg, as Anthony Silver, grows into his role superbly and stands out as an engaging little creep.
The direction is generally good and the film moves at a steady pace although some of the scenes involving Suzie and her grandmother miss a trick, with some rather limp dialogue.
An entertaining if hardly life changing experience, Suzie Gold is a decent film and compares favourably with most of the British romcoms released each year. Perhaps the critics could have been a little more charitable.
