Friday night dinner - Series 1 (Import)

av Robert Popper

DVD. 136 minuter. 2011.

Nyskick. Eccentric relations, bizarre behaviour, cringing embarrassment... It's just a family tradition. Twenty-something brothers Adam and Jonny return to the family home each week for a Jewish Friday Night Dinner of soup, chicken and crumble - plus massive side-orders of wind-ups and bickering. With a Masterchef-obsessed Mum; Dad eating from the rubbish bin; Grandma wearing her new bikini around the house, and Jim the neighbour who's terrified of his own dog, it's a feat of endurance. And that's before the concerns about Jonny's 'made-up' girlfriend and Dad's non-stop requests for Adam to find a "female" on the Internet.
Of course, every family has its foibles, its rituals and its eccentricities. It's just that the Goodmans have made something of an art form of theirs...
