One of this week-ends greatest pleasures was to watch the Spanish movie " Seres Queridos" ( "Only Human" in English.) I don't remember the last time I howled so much with laughter. If you have not seen it already, by all means, you have to see it. The movie is a light farce, beautifully played by a wonderful cast ensemble. Though the plot is similar to " Meet the Parents", the two could not be more different. " Seres Queridos" is what happens when great acting is combined with daring, clever dialogue.
I will try not to give anything away but here is the basic plot. A young professional woman comes back home to her zany Jewish family for a week-end to introduce her new boyfriend. Trouble is, he is Palestinian, a fact that her crazy family at first has a hard time accepting. Brilliant!
Go watch it!
