A box-office smash and cultural phenomenon in Germany, GO FOR ZUCKER! is said to be the first German-Jewish comedy since World War II. GO FOR ZUCKER follows the frenetic life of Jaeckie Zucker (in an hysterical, award-winning performance by Henry Hubchen), a chronic liar, cheat and hustler living in Berlin who has abandoned his career, family and Jewish roots since the fall of the Wall. Broke and beaten, his notorious gambling has finally caught up with him. When word comes that his mother has died and left him a sizeable inheritance, it's a stroke of luck. But there's a catch: Jaeckie must first reconcile with his long-estranged brother Samuel, an Orthodox Jew living in Frankfurt. The inevitable clash of tradition paves the way for a madcap adventure that finds Jaeckie sneaking off to play a high-stakes pool tournament, while his shiksa wife (veteran Hannelore Elsner) desperately tries to pass them off as observant Jews. Patently ridiculous and undeniably charming, GO FOR ZUCKER is winner of the Ernst Lubitsch Award for Best German Comedy, and six Lola Awards (the German Oscars) including Best Film and Best Director.

Jesus comes down to earth in order to check out a screening of Mel Gibson's THE PASSION, but gets stranded with no way back to heaven before Shabbos begins. Can this nice Jewish carpenter find a shul before sunset?
