HUMOUR

Back to Top

Description:

Two childhood best friends grow up to become a rabbi and a Catholic priest – a promising recipe for harmony, until their shared teenage crush suddenly re-enters their lives. Norton’s directorial debut blends romantic comedy with sharp humor, self-irony and irresistible New York energy. Moving between synagogue, church and urban dating chaos, the film playfully asks how tradition fits into modern life – and whether love might be the most complicated faith. With fast dialogue, witty observations and genuine warmth, the film celebrates Jewish identity, friendship and the art of believing without losing sense of humour.
