Wisdom of the Pretzel (2002) User Reviews

just plain fun

[Itamar-Drechsler-wh02 · 10/10 · 27 November 2003]

A great movie for the 20-something crowd. Very funny, a great set of characters, and a great script. Some of the scenes include the best known sites in Israel. The music is also well-selected. In all, a reflection of the issues 20-somethings deal with in urban Israeli life, many of which are shared by all westerners of the same age group. 9 out of 10 in my book.

Life of 20+ in Tel Aviv

This movie is based on the novel the director wrote. Low budget movie filmed on video, and the dialogue is mediocre. The acting is quite good, although this movie has flaws of a typical Israeli movie. I liked the way the movie builds the characters, and they seemed more natural than characters in different Israeli films. Great job, good effort, I give it an 8 out of clean 10.

One of the best Israeli dramas ever created.

This movie is a must see. It is both funny and moving and shows a very realistic view of the pre-thirty life in Israel. The story line is flowing and the acting is great. I have identified with the characters completely. This movie gets a 10. Go and see it.

Sharp and lively

It's a movie for and about youngsters living at Tel Aviv and about things that they experience : love , friendship , the need to grow up .

Easy to identify with and easy to watch . Combines serious with silly , touching with funny . Leaves an impression of something real .
