Meeting the parents is already hard enough for a newly engaged couple, without throwing an accidental murder into the mix. When interfaith couple David and Meg plan to introduce their families to one another during a traditional Shabbos dinner, tensions are high from the beginning and continue to grow after an accident sends the event into complete chaos before it’s even started. As David’s family attempts to cover their tracks and keep the night running smoothly, secrets emerge that force the families to get to know each other better than anyone anticipated. With a daring sense of dark comedy and an ensemble of vibrant characters (played by some of the best, including Kyra Sedgwick, Catherine Curtin, and Method Man), Bad Shabbos captures the blending of families and faiths in all its awkward, messy glory.
