Not my cup of tea

Rating: 3/10 (1 February 1999)

Congratulations to Rob 169 of Venice CA. His comments are right on. My feelings before seeing the picture was that I would not like the film. However, after reading published reviews and seeing discussions on TV I thought it must be as great as people were saying. But as it turns out my original reaction was correct. I disliked the film. To view the holocaust as a comedy even if it were to protect his child from the truth is insulting and disingenious. Future young people seeing this film might get the wrong idea about the truth of the holocaust. It wasn't funny and it wasn't fun.
