Summary of Go For Zucker

This genuinely hilarious comedy was an enormous hit in its native Germany, where it was widely hailed as the sign of a renaissance in German-Jewish humor. The excellent Henry Hübchen stars as the very secular Jaecki Zucker (born Jakob Zuckermann), part of a conflicted family divided in 1961 by the Berlin wall. When Jaecki's mother dies, the family is forced back together--and neither he nor his estranged Orthodox brother can receive their inheritance unless they put aside their differences.

Entertainment Weekly

Funny, director and co-writer Dani Levy suggests with no little coldness, how the scent of money can do what religion, ideology, and ethical principles cannot. Full Review

The New Yorker

Watching the antic inventions of Go for Zucker, I was moved by the thought that Jews have achieved a kind of Germanness again, and even more moved by the thought that Germans have achieved a kind of Jewishness again. Full Review

Go For Zucker

where do I begin? the story of a disgusting, vulgar and dysfunctional family. every one cares only about himself. it's no more than OK. personally I really resented this movie which can almost be referred to as racist. Read and rate it
