In my opinion, the casting of virtually all non-Jews in the roles of deeply religious Hasiddic Jews is a mistake. I ordinarily admire Rene Zellwanger, but watching her struggle with lines like "Oy Gevalt!" inspires laughter. Of all the actors, only Juliana Margulies does a decent job with her role. I found the movie somewhat entertaining, but not very realistic and with a muddled, unbelievable plotline. I would recommend "A Stranger Among Us" with Melanie Griffith as a movie which portrayed this community more sensitively and in a more sympathetic light.
