“Eh, I haven’t an opinion”
Such a prefect punchline for the Rabbi.

[theKobus]

when the orthodox guy addresses the movie-making instead of the theology, still kills me every time

[Likeacannon]

The incredulity with which the rabbi says “Who isn’t who is!?” will stay with me forever.

First time I saw this movie, I thought it just ended abruptly. But it's grown on me. One of the Coen Brothers' best.

" This swell figure from the East"😂

I was coming out of a multi month back issue and really needed this. I took the underground to the west side of town to a little theater to see this movie. What a palliative it was. Now I look at it and am simply amazed by Brolin's hair. Many, many charming scenes in this film.

Robert Picardo REALLY needs to be in more movies.

[jmb.....]

A "Priest and a Rabbi" joke, come to life!

[ernestscribbler-Inyenga]

Brolin manages to get in all their official titles, that’s the work of a real salesman

[davidf]

This is amazing. I had no idea this movie had such good writing. This is truly phenomenal satire. Wow!! Nuanced! Slap-sticky! Hilarious! I never considered watching it before. Convinced. Buying.

[Misterkoots]

This is one of the best written scenes in cinematic history.

[CascadiaCalvert]

"He's a bachelor -- and He's very angry!" Best line in the movie

[billthomas]

Picardo checking his watch at 2:45! Perfect!

[SCWood]

The Orthodox guy being the most chill one there is so funny to me.

[chairs_missing]

The way Picardo grimaces after “swell figure from the East”

[volkerw.]

"This swell figure from the east" 🤣🤣🤣

[xLCHe]

Clooney and Brolin, and their characters, is nothing short of genuine

[Chrisyade]

Hands down, the best shaggy dog story ever.

[prairiedogsareextant]

Came across a critic who thought these dialogue scenes, presumably all of them, slowed down the movie. She wanted more of the dance number, the mermaid number. She wanted to nuke all of the Coen dialogue, and just have the blonde dude dancing around for 2 hours. Gee, can't imagine why I don't give a flip about critics.

[bcharris]

It’s odd that they have an ordinary rabbi, priest, and pastor but the Eastern Orthodox representative is referred to as “Patriarch.” For those who don’t know, this is basically like having a pope or archbishop present. Kind of overkill, haha.
