Take the spirit of Office Space, set it in the Israeli Army, make the main characters young women reluctantly working in the Personnel Department of a dusty army base and BAM! you have a hilarious comedy. It’s a comedy that has some weighty things within its run time, but that doesn’t stop it from being gut-bustingly funny. It’s early, but so far this is my favorite movie of the year and I recommend you search it out.
Cost:$8.00
Where watched: Living Room Theater with Matt after a failed attempt at Birdman.

Oh wow, I saw a trailer for this (ahead of "Wild," I think) and thought it looked terrible, although I wondered whether it might actually be quite a bit funnier than the trailer suggested. I got the sense that the humor of the film might not translate well into two minutes, but would perhaps work better in film length. If you liked it this much, I know it can’t be terrible!
Just added this to my watchlist.
I love that marriage of many disparate entities to make one good movie. Seems like Bechdel might give this a thumbs up. I am certainly intrigued!
