"Reuniting the Rubins" may walk like a comedy and quack like a comedy, but despite the absurd extremes to which it takes the squabbling-family formula, it inspires nary a chuckle.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 5, 2012

Theoretical laughter, tears and maudlin contrivance ensue.

Full Review | Mar 23, 2012

A frantic, badly constructed, slightly offensive muddle that doesn't so much end as run out of things on a checklist.

Full Review | Mar 22, 2012

The script includes little back story and lots of button-pushing shorthand, none of which feels genuine...

What happens when you put a rabbi, a Buddhist monk, a high-strung capitalist, and a lesbian humanitarian together in the same room? Not comedy, it turns out.

Yoav Factor can't decide whether he wants to play his broad scenario as an exaggerated farce or as a heartwarming testament to blood ties.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 11, 2012

Reuniting the Rubins is harmless, unspectacular comedy, let down by a poor script and light-weight direction, which might have been more at home on a Sunday on ITV. It isn't the worst thing you'll see this year, but it will be difficult to remember.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 2, 2012

An ensemble piece wobbling between undercooked drama and low-powered farce...

Full Review | Oct 26, 2011

A mediocre sitcom with too many preachy subplots.

Most people would rather spend five years in a Hamas dungeon than endure their company.

There are some films so bad, they don't warrant a review. This is one of them.

Give me an oy. Give me a vey.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 21, 2011

It's a decent idea gone wrong for want of a better script and tighter direction.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 21, 2011

Like a cheap, uninspired ITV bank holiday drama in which a decent cast is left stranded by a lousy script and lifeless direction.

Rubins ultimately sinks beneath the weight of its own gubbins.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 20, 2011

A contrived script and clunky direction undermine this British film, which veers from silly comedy to harsh drama to dark tragedy.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 20, 2011

The film has its moments, but the score is so achingly intrusive I felt I was suffering from Rubinoid arthritis.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 19, 2011

As dysfunctional movie families go, the Rubins hardly linger in the memory.
