Anyone heard of this movie? I saw a trailer for it last night and it looks very enjoyable and funny. Can't wait to see it!

I've seen it and its rather the type of "art house" movie I prefer.

Problem is it really did reinforce numerous Israeli stereotypes, and completely ignore the true nature of the Israel/Arab conflict.

As if this "settler" town was living in a bubble.

And mind you no "settler" town is warm to Egyptians nor Arabs or would ever open a "Arab Cultural Center".

I found the movie delightful but the motivations behind the limit plot very condescending.
