"Let My People Go".... please!

I attended only two films today and I had high hopes for this one. As I waited in line I saw that many others had the same hopes. The Palm Springs High School is the largest venue in the Fest [1100 seats] and the line for this film [Let My People Go] was already around the block. Once we were inside and seated it was announced that it was sold out. This was the largest audience I had seen so far. I was disappointed. I think others were as well but from the reaction of the audience during the closing credits, we were in a very small minority. It is a French farce about a young man who heatedly flees his Finnish lover to return to his Jewish family in Paris a few days before Passover. The jokes are all about being gay and/or Jewish and, frankly, you have heard them all before. One of my favorites comedic actresses [Carmen Maura] has a hard time as a Jewish mother but it pales compared to the hard time director Mikael Buch had in making a funny film. Avoid it.
