Jewish Identity

For Your Consideration is a movie coming out on November 17,2006. I saw the previews for it tonight, it's written by Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy, and stars the same cast from their other films, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind. It's about the production of a film entitled Home for Purim, which is about a Southern Jewish family in the 1940s. The previews looked really funny! One of the producers of A Mighty Wind said in the trailer for it, "maybe you could tone the Jewishness down," which was just ridiculous considering what the movie is suppose to be about. I'm interested just to see what kind of stereotypes play out throughout the film.
