I liked the main character Motti but I just kept thinking that the relationships he was portrayed in would never happen, women of Laura's looks and the attractive Tel Aviv lady would not have jumped into bed with him so easily. His mother wasn't funny, rather frightening and gave a bad representation of Jewish mothers. The ending was also a bad depiction of young love, are we to believe that they were so wrapped up in each other, he was so distraught and yet he wouldn't take her call? The film portrayed Jewish people as being purely about arranged marriage and nothing to do with their beliefs or other traditions which was disappointing.
