CGiii Comment

The days of the unenlightened parent (i.e ignorant) are dwindling rapidly.

When a present-day film leans on this ignorance in the present day...it ends up being...unbelievable.

Are Jewish mothers really like this? A definite case for extinction.

Well-filmed and performed...but, it is all a little hackneyed.
