"Bad Shabbos", a Hilarious Comedy Starring Kyra Sedgwick, is Now Streaming on Netflix

Last winter, Bad Shabbos, a hilarious comedy film about a disastrous Friday night dinner on New York's Upper West Side, made its debut in Florida Jewish film festivals.

Now it is streaming on Netflix.

 As Natalia Winkelman wrote in The New York Times,

Those who have attended a Shabbat dinner — which occurs on Friday and kicks off the Jewish Sabbath — know that the traditional greeting is “good Shabbos.” The ensemble comedy “Bad Shabbos” telegraphs its silliness right from the title.

Directed by Daniel Robbins, the movie takes place over a disastrous dinner on the Upper West Side, where David (Jon Bass) and Meg (Meghan Leathers) — a newly engaged Jew and gentile — plan to introduce their parents for the first time. But before they can start, a disturbing prank by David’s brother, Adam (Theo Taplitz), goes awry, causing an emergency that the family must hide from the Midwestern in-laws. The crisis involves a body and a ticking clock, as well as a zany, meddlesome doorman (Method Man, always welcome) added for good measure.

In the video below, Kyra Sedgwick, a leading actor in the movie, invites you to join in the fun. Enjoy!
