Such Great Joy (2005)
loved it!
I really enjoyed this short film a great deal and can only hope to see more of this in a longer form as well as more from this writer/director. In reading the other comments I found the negative one interesting as if every Jewish family has to be a certain amount of Jewish on some scale. My family was mixed with Jews and non-Jews and found the mix of faces and "level" of religion much like my own family. Just because I don't say every prayer or look Jewish doesn't mean I am not. I found the characters very grounded and believed what they were saying. I also loved the goofy nature of the story and that they were allowed to go in that direction. It wasn't the same dramatic gay film that I always see because sometimes there is a happy ending. I loved the film and suggest everyone go see it! It was cute, funny and warm-hearted.
